Belleau Wood, off of Garth's new album seven's
Finger pick through!
Oh the [Dsus]snowfakes fell in [D]scilence
[G] [D]
Over Belleau Wood that night
For a [G]Christmas truce had been [D]declared
By [A]both sides of the fight
As we [Dsus]lay there in our [D]trenches
The s[G]ilence broke in [Bm]two
By a [G]German soldier [D]singing
A s[A]ong that we all [D]knew
Though I [Dsus]did not know the [D]language
The s[G]ong was "[A]Silent Nigh[D]t"
Then I [G]heard my buddy [D]whisper,
"All is c[A]alm, and all is bright"
Then the f[Dsus]ear and doubt s[D]urrounded me
'Cause I'd [G]die if I was [Bm]wrong
But I s[G]tood up in my [D]trench
And I b[A]egan to sing [D]along
Then [A]across the frozen [G]battlefield
[D] [A]
Another's voice joined in
[G] [Bm]
Until one by one each man became
[G] [A]
A singer of the hymn
Then I [Dsus]thought that I was d[D]reaming
For [G]right there in my [D]sight
[G]Stood the German [D]soldier
[A]'Neath the falling flakes of white
[Dsus] [D]
And raised his hand and smiled at me
As [G]if he seemed to [Bm]say
Here's [G]hoping we both [D]live
[A] [D]
To see us find a better way
Then the [A]devil's clock struck [G]midnight
[D] [A]
And the skies lit up again
And the [G]battlefield where [Bm]heaven stood
Was b[G]lown to hell [A]again
But for j[Dsus]ust one fleeting [D]moment
The a[G]nswer seemed so c[D]lear
[G] [D]
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
[A] [Bm]
It's just beyond the fear
No [G]Heaven's not be[D]yond the clouds
[A] [Dsus] [D]
It's for us to find it here
Enjoy!!
