I Need a Silent Night
guitar chords lyrics
INTRO:
G C Am D
VERSE 1:
G C
I've made this same mistake before
Am G
too many malls, too many stores.
C
December traffic, Christmas rush
Am C G
it breaks me till I push and shove.
G D C G
Children are crying while mothers are trying
Am D
to photograph Santa and sleigh.
G D C G C
Shopping and buying and standing forever in line-
------------
what can I say?
CHORUS:
G C D G D
I need a silent night, a holy night
C G Am D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G C D G D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
C Am D G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
VERSE 2:
G C
December comes then disappears
Am G
faster and faster every year.
C
Did my own mother keep this pace
Am C G
or was the world a different place?
G D C G
Where people stayed home, wishing for snow
Am D
watching three channels on their TVs.
G D C G
Look at us now, rushing around
C D
trying to buy Christmas peace.
CHORUS:
G C D G D
I need a silent night, a holy night
C G Am D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G C D G D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
C Am D G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
BRIDGE:
Am G C D
What was it like back there in Bethlehem?
Am Em
With peace on earth
Am C
Good will toward men
CHORUS:
G C D G D
I need a silent night, a holy night
C G Am D
to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
G C D G D
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here
C Am D G
to end this crazy day with a silent night.
C Am D G
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
