[Verse]
D G D
Factories are all shut down and the shopping malls are all closed
A D
The busy streets are all empty except for the falling snow
G D
In the small towns, in the cities families gather as one
A D
'Cause the night of love and sharing they look forward to has come
[Chorus]
G A D
Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Bm G A D
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
G A D Bm
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Em A D Bm
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony
E A E
But across the seas two armies stare down at each other's guns
B E
Each believing in their cause enough to die or kill the other one
A E
But tonight there'll be no shooting, not a drop of blood will spill
B E
They will cease their fire this silent night in the name of peace and goodwill
A B E
Tonight is Christmas, tonight is love
Cm A B D
Tonight we celebrate God's one and only Son
A B E Cm
Tonight there's hope for peace on earth eternally
Fm B E
Tonight is Christmas and the world's in harmony
