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

What was it like back there in Bethlehem?

With peace on earth
Em G
Good will toward men
[Chorus]
D G A D A
I need a silent night, a holy night

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