[Intro] G C G D G [Verse 1]
          G                                     D
There's a pine tree in a window in a house on a hill

                                        G
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly still

                                             C
She's watching the shoppers walk through the snow

           C            G                   D           G
With their arms full of treasures and their hearts all aglow
[Chorus]
        C                                     G
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree

                                                  D
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me

         G                                C
When the angel on the treetop requested a song

        C      G     D       G   
We sang Silent Night all day long
[Verse 2]
          G                                      D
There's a family that's gathering in some living room

                                              G
Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon

                                             C
The stockings on the mantle are hanging with care

      C     G       D        G
While every body is saying a prayer
[Chorus]
        C                                     G
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree

                                                  D
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me

         G                                C
When the angel on the treetop requested a song

        C      G     D       G   
We sang Silent Night all day long
[Instrumental] G C C G D G [Verse 3]
          G                                          D
There's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a chair

                                           G
With memories of childhood still lingering there

                                         C
How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow

                   G           D          G
How precious those memories of long long ago
[Chorus]
        C                                     G
We held hands and stared at the lights on the tree

                                                  D
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for me

         G                                C
When the angel on the treetop requested a song

        C      G     D       G   
We sang Silent Night all day long
[Outro]
         C                                G
When the angel on the treetop requested a song

        G            D       G
We sang Silent Night all day long
