Chords

[Intro] G C Am D [Verse]
G                             C
I've made this same mistake before

Am                  G
too many malls, too many stores.

                            C
December traffic, Christmas rush

   Am               C        G
it breaks me till I push and shove.

G            D            C           G
Children are crying while mothers are trying

   Am                D
to photograph Santa and sleigh.

G            D          C           G           C
Shopping and buying and standing forever in line-

         D
what can I say?
[Chorus]
         G      C        D    G     D
I need a silent night, a holy night

   C             G                 Am              D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.

         G        C               D           G    D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here

   C              Am                         G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
[Verse]
G                        C
December comes then disappears

Am                G
faster and faster every year.

                            C
Did my own mother keep this pace

   Am              C               G
or was the world a different place?

      G             D     C           G
Where people stayed home, wishing for snow

         Am                       D
watching three channels on their TVs.

G          D    C        G
Look at us now, rushing around

          C
trying to buy Christmas peace.
[Chorus]
         G      C        D    G     D
I need a silent night, a holy night

   C             G                 Am              D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.

         G        C               D           G    D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here

   C              Am            D       G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
[Bridge]
Am          G                  C         D
What was it like back there in Bethlehem?

     Am         Em
With peace on earth

     Am             C
Good will toward men
[Chorus]
         G      C        D    G     D
I need a silent night, a holy night

   C             G                 Am              D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.

         G        C               D           G    D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here

   C              Am             D       G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.

   C              Am             D       G
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
