[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[D][G][Gsus2][G]
[D]
It was not a si[G]lent

[Verse 1]
night
There was blood [D]on the ground
You could hear a woman [G]cry
In the alley[Gsus2]ways that[Asus4] night
On the streets of David's town
[D]

[Verse 2]
And the stable was [Bm]not clean
And the cobblestone[F#m]s were cold
And little Mary full [G]of grace
With the tears upon [Asus4]her face
Had no mother's [D]hand to hold

[Verse 3]
It was a labor of [G]pain[A]
It was a [Asus4]cold sky [Bm]abov[D]e
But for the girl on the ground in the [G]dark
With every beat of her beautiful [A]heart
It was a [Asus4]labor of [A]love[D]

[Verse 4]
Noble Joseph at [G]her side[D][G]
Callused hands and [D]weary eyes
There were no midwives [G]to be found
On the streets of David's [A]town
In the [Asus4]middle of the night
[D]

[Verse 5]
So he held her [Bm]and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on [F#m]his face
For the baby in her womb
[G]He was the maker of the moo[A]n
[Asus4]He was the author of the faith[D]
That could make the mountain
[Asus4]s move[A]

[Interlude 1]
[A][Asus4][A][G][D]

[Verse 6]
It was a labor of [G]pain[A]
It was a [Asus4]cold sky [Bm]abov[D]e
But for the girl on the ground in the [G]dark
With every beat of her beautiful [A]heart
It was a [Asus4]labor of [A]love[Bm][A]
For little [D]Mary full of grace

[Verse 7]
[G]
With the tears upon [Asus4]her face
It was a labor [A]of [G]love[D][G]

[Interlude 2]
[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
It was not [G]a silent [D]night[G]
On the streets of David's [D]town
