  Belleau Wood  (Garth Brooks from the cd Sevens)

  Transcribed by the infamous Nevrdiyung@aol.com 

  

  Oh, the <DSUS>snowflakes fell in <D>silence 

  Over <G>Belleau Wood that <D>night 

  For a <G>Christmas truce had been <D<declared 

  By <A>both sides of the fight 

  As we <DSUS>lay there in our <D>trenches 

  The <G>silence broke in <BM>two 

  By a <G>German soldier <D>singing 

  A <G>song that we all <D>knew 

  

  Though I <DSUS>did not know the <D>language 

  The <G>song was "<A>Silent Night<D>" 

  

  Then I <G>heard my buddy <D>whisper, 

  "All is <A>calm and all is bright" 

  Then the <DSUS>fear and doubt <D>surrounded me 

  'Cause I'd <G>die if I was <BM>wrong 

  But I <G>stood up on my <D>trench 

  And I <A>began to sing <D>along 

  

  Then <A>across the frozen <G>battlefield 

  <D>Another's voice joined <A>in 

  Until <G>one by one each <BM>man became 

  A <G>singer of the <A>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
