Bellaeu Wood 3 chords

Belleau Wood  (Garth Brooks from the cd Sevens)
Transcribed by the infamous Nevrdiyung@aol.com 

Oh, the snowflakes fell in silence 
Over Belleau Wood that night 
For a Christmas truce had been both sides of the fight 
As we lay there in our trenches 
The silence broke in two 
By a German soldier singing 
A song that we all knew 

Though I did not know the language 
The song was "Silent Night" 

Then I heard my buddy whisper, 
"All is calm and all is bright" 
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me 
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong 
But I stood up on my trench 
And I began to sing along 

Then across the frozen battlefield 
Another's voice joined in 

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



Until one by one each man became 
A singer of the hymn 

(chord progression repeats itself)
Then I thought that I was dreaming 
For right there in my sight 
Stood the German soldier 
'Neath the falling flakes of white 
And he raised his hand and smiled at me 
As if he seemed to say 
Here's hoping we both live 
To see us find a better way 

Then the devil's clock struck midnight 
And the skies lit up again 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
Was blown to hell again 

But for just one fleeting moment 
The answer seemed so clear 
Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
It's just beyond the fear 

No' heaven's not beyond the clouds 
It's for us to find it here
