[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

[Bridge]
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
