Tom: Dsus Dsus D Oh the snowflakes fell in silence G D Over Belleau Wood that night G D For a Christmas truce had been declared A By both sides of the fight Dsus D As we lay there in our trenches G Bm The silence broke in two G D By a German soldier singing A D A song that we all knew Dsus D Though I did not know the language G A D The song was "Silent Night" G D Then I heard my buddy whisper, A "All is calm, and all is bright" Dsus D Then the fear and doubt surrounded me G Bm 'Cause I'd die if I was wrong G D But I stood up in my trench A D And I began to sing along A G Then across the frozen battlefield D A Another's voice joined in G Bm Until one by one each man became G A A singer of the hymn Dsus D Then I thought that I was dreaming G D For right there in my sight G D Stood the German soldier A 'Neath the falling flakes of white Dsus D And raised his hand and smiled at me G Bm As if he seemed to say G D Here's hoping we both live A D To see us find a better way A G Then the devil's clock struck midnight D A And the skies lit up again G Bm And the battlefield where heaven stood G A Was blown to hell again Dsus D But for just one fleeting moment G D The answer seemed so clear G D Heaven's not beyond the clouds A Bm It's just beyond the fear G D No Heaven's not beyond the clouds A Dsus D It's for us to find it here
