[Intro] G C G G G C G G [Verse 1]
 G
'Twas the night before Christmas

     C               G
When all through the house

      Em
Not a creature was stirring

    D
Not even a mouse

G
No stockings were hung

    C          G
The mantle was bare

Em                   D
St. Nicholas looked around

    C          G
And no one was there
[Chorus]
        C                            G
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away

          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh

C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list

           G                   D                    G    G   C   G
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift
[Verse 2]
  G
A house cold and quiet

  C            G
A sad sight to see

   Em
No tinsel, no presents

      D
Not a light on a tree

          G
Just some medals and badges

     C            G
In a frame on the wall

     Em            D
That stand at attention

   C           G
If duty should call
[Chorus]
        C                            G
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away

          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh

C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list

           G                   D                    Em
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift

G
Green and red paper

C            G
Big bows and ribbons

Em
Outside the snow falls

    D
And Icicles glisten

G
Joy To The World

       C        G
From a caroling choir

Em        D
Mistletoe kisses

        C          G
Throw a log on the fire
[Chorus]
         C                            G
'Cause tonight there's a soldier in a land far away

          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh

C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list

           G                   D                    Em   Em   C   C
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift

      G                   D                  G
Yeah, God blessed America with the soldier's gift
