Capo 3rd Fret

SPOKEN: One frozen night in 1914, at the height of World War I, the

unthinkable happened: all along the entire western front, the British and

German soldiers lay down their weapons, an unofficial cease fire, to

celebrate Christmas Eve together. They exchanged gifts, and saw each other

as brothers, and that peace lasted for two more days, when they were ordered

back to battle. In those few days, though, men remembered the reason for

Christmas amongst the devastation, and it's a story that should never be

forgotten

(Em7) Through the smoke filled night silence (G) rose from both sides

Across a bloody battle(D/F#)field

It was a (Em7) cold Christmas Eve in (C) 1914

(G) To those who were there, it seemed un(D/F#)real

As (Bm) time was still the spirit moved the (Em7) soldiers

To (C) lay down their (Em7) arms and (C) raise their voice in (Em7) song

And pre(C)tend for a while the war was (Dsus4) ove(D)r

If it could (G) happen (D/F#) then, it could (Em7) happen a(Bm)gain

A (C) world torn a(G)part could (Am) join hands and (D) hearts

To celeb(G)rate his (D) birth and (Em7) peace on this (Bm) Earth

If for (C) one magic (G) night we could (Am) find again a reason not to fig(D)ht

Maybe there's a (G/B) chance (Cadd9)

This time it might (G/B) last (Cadd9)

As (Em7) opposing sides approached through (G) broken words they spoke

It wasn't long before they felt at (D/F#) ease

They (Em7) shared their cigarettes, what they (C) had they used as gifts

(G) They didn't feel like enem(D/F#)ies

With (Bm) candles lit they stood shoulder to sh(Em7)oulder

And (C) on that field they (Em7) found (C) true common gr(Em7)ound

And as they (C) prayed they dreamed the war was (Dsus4) ove(D)r

Repeat Chorus

If it could (G) happen (D/F#) then, it could (Em7) happen a(Bm)gain
