verse 1 
D                        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 
                            D                C 
She's watching the shoppers walk through the snow 
G                                           D               G 
With their arms full of treasures and their hearts all aglow 

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 G D G G We sang Silent Night all day long
verse 2 D G D There's a family that's gathering in some living room G Dinner on the table that's been cooking since noon D C The stockings on the mantle are hanging with care G D G While every body is saying a prayer
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 D C When the angel on the treetop requested a song G D G We sang Silent Night all day long
Instrumental G C G D G D 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 D C How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow G D G How precious those memories of long long ago
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 D C When the angel on the treetop requested a song G D G We sang Silent Night all day long
Outro C G When the angel on the treetop requested a song D G We sang Silent Night all day long
