Silent Night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]They say that necessity
is the mother of invention,
[Am]and in this particular c[G]ase it was true.
It seems that in a little [D]town in Bavari[G]a
in the early 1800s,
just before Christ[A]mas of all [D]times,
the church organ broke down.
[G]All there was available
was a guitar and [C]the choir.
The [G]choir director wrote a Christmas carol
[D]for [G]guitar and the choir,
[C]and [D]it's certainly my favorite
carol of all times,
an[G]d the Christmas story has
never been told lovelier.
Silent night, holy night
[D]All is calm, [G]all is bright
[C]Round yon Vir[D]gin, [C]Mot[G]her and Child,
[C]Holy [D]Infant [C]so [G]tender [D]and [G]mild,
[D]Sleep in heavenly [G]peace,
Sleep in [D]heavenly [Am]peace.[G][Eb]
[Ab]Silent night, holy night
[Eb]Shepherds quake at t[Ab]he sight
[C#]Glories stream from [Ab]heaven afar
Heav[C#]enly hosts sing [Ab]Alleluia
[Eb]Christ the Savior is [Ab]born
[Ab]Christ [Cm]the S[Eb]avior is b[Ab]orn.
