INTRO: G5 C5 A5 D5 VERSE 1: G5 C5 I've made this same mistake before A5 G5 too many malls, too many stores. C5 December traffic, Christmas rush A5 C5 G5 it breaks me till I push and shove.

CHORUS: G5 C5 D5 G5 D5 I need a silent night, a holy night C5 G5 A5 D5 to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.

A5 E5 With peace on earth A5 C5 Good will toward men CHORUS: G5 C5 D5 G5 D5 I need a silent night, a holy night C5 G5 A5 D5 to hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise. G5 C5 D5 G5 D5 I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here C5 A5 D5 G5 to end this crazy day with a silent night. C5 A5 D5 G5 To end this crazy day with a silent night.
