I Need A Silent Night(Chords)

	        
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? 


               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. 


               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 


               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.
