[Verse]
A D
I've made this same mistake before
Bm A
too many malls, too many stores.
D
December traffic, Christmas rush
Bm D A
it breaks me till I push and shove.
A E D A
Children are crying while mothers are trying
Bm E
to photograph Santa and sleigh.
A E D A D
Shopping and buying and standing forever in line-
E
what can I say?
[Chorus]
A D E A E
I need a silent night, a holy night
D A Bm E
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
A D E A E
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
D Bm A
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
[Verse]
A D
December comes then disappears
Bm A
faster and faster every year.
D
Did my own mother keep this pace
Bm D A
or was the world a different place?
A E D A
Where people stayed home, wishing for snow
Bm E
watching three channels on their TVs.
A E D A
Look at us now, rushing around
D
trying to buy Christmas peace.
[Chorus]
A D E A E
I need a silent night, a holy night
D A Bm E
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
A D E A E
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
D Bm E A
to end this crazy day with a silent night.

What was it like back there in Bethlehem?

With peace on earth
Bm D
Good will toward men
[Chorus]

I need a silent night, a holy night

to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.

I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
