Capo 3rd Fret (All Chords Relative to Capo)
VERSE
T[Em]hrough the smoke filled night silence r[C]ose from both sides[G]
Across a bloody battlef[D/F#]ield
It was a [Em]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 [Em]soldiers
To [C]lay down their [Em]arms and r[C]aise their voice in [Em]song
And [C]pretend for a while the war was [Dsus]over[D]
CHORUS
If it could [G]happen th[D]en, it could [Em]happen ag[Bm]ain
A [C]world torn ap[G]art could [Am]join hands and [D]hearts
To celeb[G]rate his [D]birth and p[Em]eace on this [Bm]Earth
If for [C]one magic n[G]ight we could [Am]find again a reason not to fig[D]ht
Maybe there's a[Cadd9/B] chance[C]; This time it might l[Cadd9/B]ast.[C]
VERSE
As opposing sides approached through broken words they spoke
It wasn't long before they felt at ease
They shared their cigarettes, what they had they used as gifts
They didn't feel like enemies
With candles lit they stood shoulder to shoulder
And on that field they found true common ground
And as they prayed they dreamed the war was over
CHORUS
If it could happen then, it could happen again
A world torn apart could join hands and hearts
To celebrate his birth and peace on this Earth
If for one magic night we could find again a reason not to fight
Maybe there's a chance; This time it might last.
If it could [G]happen th[D]en, it could [Em]happen ag[C]ain.
