The Night Before Christmas
Brandon Heath
Key = E

Intro :
A E B F#m A E B
(Repeat x2)

Verse 1 :
A E B F#m A E B

Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born
A E B F#m A E B
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn
A E B F#m A E B
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape
A E B F#m A E
In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light
Bsus4
But that was the night before Christmas

Interlude : A E B F#m A E B

Verse 2 :
A E B F#m A E B
Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet, praying Godspeed the dawn
A E B F#m A E B
She looks to her man, holding her hand, they wonder how long
A E B F#m A E B
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king
A E B F#m A E Bsus4 A E B F#m
One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before Christmas

Chorus 1 :
A E B A E Bsus4
And the world didn�t know mercy was meek and so mild
A E B A E B
And the world didn�t know that truth was as pure as a child
A E B
The night before Christmas
F#m A E B
The night before Christmas

Interlude

Chorus 2 :
A E B A E Bsus4
And the world didn�t know, redemption was sweet and so strong
A E B A E B
And the world didn�t know salvation was writing a song
A E B
The night before Christmas
F#m A E B
The night before Christmas
A E B F#m A E B
The night before Christmas

A E B F#m A E B
Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born
