Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 Through the smoke filled night silence rose from both sides

 Across a bloody battlefield

 It was a cold Christmas Eve in 1914

To those who were there, it seemed unreal

 As time was still the spirit moved the soldiers

 To lay down their arms and raise their voice in song

 And pretend for a while 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.

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 happen then, it could happen again.
