SILENT NIGHT - Altar Boys
Words by Ric Alba, Music by Ric Alba & Steve Griffith

Chords worked out by Nic Holmes homey@xtra.co.nz
I'm new to this so bear with me if they're out a little :-)
[A]Way across the fields where the starlight falls
On the road to this little town
If the stars could tell a story
Which way would it end?
Who would lose, and who would win?
And it l[G]ooks like the whole world is wai[A]ting
[A]Far off in the land of kings, the humble man misused
Army come, set his house on fire
Terrorized and broken, the humble hide and pray
"Show us a sign, or take us away."
And it l[G]ooks like the whole world is wai[A]ting
Th[G]is is the moment we've waited f[A]or[E][G][B][D]
[A]Some men gave their lives writing out the ancient books
About the place where the kingdom come
A king to walk among us, one to call our own
Finally come to make this His home
And it l[G]ooks like the whole world is wai[A]ting
[A]Silent hearts, silent night
One vo[D]ice to be he[A7]ard f[A]rom the stables
[A]There, a baby cries
The voice of G[D]od calling to a silent wor[A]ld.
[A]Riding by the light of an unknown star
In the night full of heaven's hope
Hearing the news of angels
The humble make their way
Coming to town to look for the King
And it l[G]ooks like the whole world is wai[A]ting
[A]Silent hearts, silent night
All crea[D]tion waits for this m[A7]oment
[A]Now the kingdom comes
To a wo[D]rld crying o[A7]ut
[A]Silent hearts, silent night
One vo[D]ice to be he[A7]ard f[A]rom the stables
[A]There, a baby cries
The voice of G[D]od calling to a silent wor[A]ld.
