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]

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 C G
We sang Silent Night all day long
