[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

[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            C       G
We sang Silent Night all day long
