[D]
(Verse 1)
[D]1915 on Christmas Day
On the western front the guns all died [A]away
And [G]lying in the mud on bags of [Bm]sand
We [Em]heard a German [A]sing from no man's [D]land
He [D]had tenor voice so pure and true
The words were strange but every note we [A]knew
[G]Soaring or the the living dead and[Bm] dammed
The [Em]German sang of [A]peace from no man's [D]land
(Verse 2)
[D]They left their trenches and we left ours
Beneath tin hats smiles bloomed like wild [A]flowers
With [G]photos, cigarettes, and pots of [Bm]wine
We [Em]bult a soldier's [A]truce on the front [D]line
Their [D]singer was a lad of 21
We begged another song before the [A]dawn
And [G]sitting in the mud and blood and [Bm]fear
He [Em]sang again the [A]song all longed to [D]hear
(Chorus)
[D]Silent night, no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for evermore[A]
All's [G]calm, all's [Em]bright
All brothers hand in [Bm]hand
In [Em]19 and [A]15 in no man's [D]land
(Verse 3)
[D]And in the morning all the guns boomed in the rain
And we killed them and they killed us [A]again
[G]At night they charged we fought them hand to [Bm]hand
And I [Em]killed the boy that [A]sang in no man's [D]land
(Chorus)
[D]Silent night no cannons roar
A king is born of peace for [A]evermore
All's [G]calm, all's [Em]bright
All brothers hand in [Bm]hand
And [Em]that young soldier [A]sings
And the [Em]song of peace still [A]rings
Though the [Em]captains and all the [A]kings
Built[Em] no[A] man's [D]land
