[Intro] Em G Am Am D7 D7 G G [Verse 1]
G                          Am
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn

    D                       G
The cloak of the soldier is withered and worn

    Em            G             Am
But what child is this that was poverty-born

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Verse 2]
G                               Am
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years

  D                       G
A promise that silenced a thousand fears

  Em             G         Am
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Verse 3]
G                      Am
Add all the grief that people may bear

D                        G
Total the strife and the troubles and care

Em          G           Am
Put them in columns and leave them right there

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
[Chorus]
    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day

    G                     Am
The branch that bears the bright holly

    D7                 C      G
The dove that rests in yonder tree

               Em         Am
The light that shines for all to see

    D7                 G
The peace of Christmas Day
