[Intro 1]
[D][Gsus2][D]
[Gsus2][D]

[Verse 1]
It was not a si[Gsus2]lent
night
There was blood on [D]the ground
[Gsus2][D]
You could hear a woman [Gsus2]cry
In the alleyways [A]that night
On the streets of David's town
[D][Gsus2]

[Verse 2]
[D]
And the stable was [Bm]not clean
And the cobble[D]stones [F#m]were cold
And little Mary full [Gsus2]of grace
With the [G]tears upon [A]her face
Had no mother's [D]hand to hold
It was [A]a labor of

[Verse 3]
[G]pain
[A]It was a cold [Bm]sky [D]above
But for the girl on the ground in the [Gsus2]dark
[G]Every beat of her beautiful hea[A]rt
Was a labor of love
[D]

[Verse 4]
Noble Joseph by [G]her side[Gsus2][G]
His cal[Gsus2]lused hands [D]and weary eyes
There were no midwives
[G]to be found
On the streets of David's [A]town
In the middle of the night
[D]

[Verse 5]
And so, he held her, and [Bm]he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on [D]his [F#m]face
But the [D]baby in [Gsus2]her womb
[G]He was the maker of [A]the moon
He was the author of the [D]faith
That could make the moun[A]tains move

[G][A][D][Gsus2][D]
[Gsus2][G][A][Bm][D]
It was [A]a labor of

[Verse 6]
[Gsus2]pain[G][Gsus2][G][A]
It was a cold [Bm]sky [D]above
But for the girl on the ground in the [G]dark
Every beat of her [Gsus2]beautiful [A]heart
Was a labor of love
[Bm][D]

[Verse 7]
For little Mary full [G]of grace
With the tears upon [A]her face
It was a labor of [D]love[A][D][G][Gsus2][G][D]
It was not a si[Gsus2]lent nigh[G]t
On the streets of Dav
[D]id's town
