Garth Brooks – Belleau Wood (Ukulele)

D                          D/F#
Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence

     Bm      A         D
Over Belleau Wood that night

      G                   D
For a Christmas truce had been declared

   A
By both side of the fight

      D                D/F#
As we lay there in our trenches

    G
The silence broke in two

                    D
By a German soldier singing

  A                D       A
A song that we all knew

         D                D/F#
Though I did not know the language

    Bm        A      D
The song was "Silent Night"

       G              D
Then I heard my buddy whisper,

           A
"All is calm and all is bright"

         D                D/F#
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me

           G
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong

                     D
But I stood up in my trench

          A            D
And I began to sing along

              A
        Then across the frozen battlefield

            G                  D
        Another's voice joined in

              G               D/F#
        Until one by one each man became

          Em            A
        A singer of the hymn

       D                  D/F#
Then I thought that I was dreaming

    Bm          A     D
For right there in my sight

G                D
Stood the German soldier

           A
'Neath the falling flakes of white

       D                   D/F#
And he raised his hand and smiled at me

 G
As if he seemed to say

                      D
Here's hoping we both live

          A             D
To see us find a better way

                 A
        Then the devil's clock struck midnight

                G                D
        And the skies lit up again

                G                 D/F#
        And the battlefield where heaven stood

            Em             A
        Was blown to hell again

         D                D/F#
But for just one fleeting moment

    G
The answer seemed so clear

                 D
Heaven's not beyond the clouds

      A              Bm     A
It's just beyond the fear

    G                D
No, heaven's not beyond the clouds

         A             D
It's for us to find it here
