Chords

[Intro] D [Verse 1]
                    G     A
It was not a silent night

                       D
There was blood on the ground

                       G
You could hear a woman cry

                      A
In the alleyways that night

                          D
On the streets of David's town

                       Bm
And the stable was not clean

                    F#m
And the cobblestones were cold

                        G
And little Mary full of grace

                        A
With the tears upon her face

                        D
Had no mother's hand to hold
[Chorus]
D                  G
 It was a labor of pain

A              Bm
 It was a cold sky above

D                                      G
 But for the girl on the ground in the dark

                             A
With every beat of her beautiful heart

                  D    A/D  D
It was a labor of love
[Verse 2]
                    G    A
Noble Joseph by her side

                         D
Callused hands and weary eyes

                             G
There were no midwives to be found

                          A
On the streets of David's town

                     D
In the middle of the night

                   Bm
So he held her and he prayed

                           F#m
Shafts of moonlight on his face

                    G
But the baby in her womb

                        A
He was the maker of the moon

                         D/F#
He was the Author of the faith

                        A
That could make the mountains move
[Bridge] D G A Bm F#m [Chorus]
D                  G
 It was a labor of pain

A              Bm
 It was a cold sky above

D                                      G
 But for the girl on the ground in the dark

                             A
With every beat of her beautiful heart

                  D    A/D  D
It was a labor of love
[Outro]
                        G
For little Mary full of grace

                        A
With the tears upon her face

                  D    A  D
It was a labor of love

                    G     A
It was not a silent night

                          D
On the streets of David's town
