[Intro 1]
[G][F][C][Csus4]
[C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
It was not [F]a silent night,
there was blood on [C]the [F]ground[Csus4][C]
You could hear a woman [F]cry in the alleyway that [G]night
on the streets of David's [C]town[F][C]
And the stable was not [Am]clean and the
[Em]cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of [F]grace with tears upon [G]her
face had no mother's hand [C]to hold
[Chorus] [F]It

[Verse 2]
[C]
was a labor of [F]pain,
[G]it was a cold [Am]sky [C]above
But for the girl on the ground in the [F]dark
with every beat of her beautiful [G]heart
It was a labor [C]of [F]love[C]

[Verse 3]
Noble Joseph by [F]her side,
callused hands and [C]weary [G]eyes[C]
No midwives to [F]be found on the streets of David's
[G]town in the middle of the [C]night[F][C]
So he held her [G]and [Am]he prayed,
shafts of moonlight on [Em]his face
But the baby in her [F]womb,
he was the maker of [G]the moon
He was the Author of the [C]Faith that could make the
[G]mountains move

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][Gsus4]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[Chorus] [F]It
[G]was[Am] a la[C]bor of[F] pain,
[G]it was a cold sky[Am] abov[C]e
But for the girl on the ground in the [F]dark
with every beat of her beautiful [G]heart
It was a labor [Am]of lo[C]ve

[Verse 5]
For little Mary full of [F]grace,
with tears on her [G]face
It was a labor [C]of love

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][F][C]

[Verse 6]
It was not [F]a silent night,
on the streets [C]of David's town
