Belleau Wood, off of Garth's new album seven's 
Finger pick through! 
       Dsus              D 
Oh the snowfakes fell in scilence 
     G                 D 
 
Over Belleau Wood that night 
      G                        D 
For a Christmas truce had been declared 
 
   A 
By both sides of the fight 
 
      Dsus             D 
As we lay there in our trenches 
     G               Bm 
The silence broke in two 
     G              D  
By a German soldier singing 
   A               D 
A song that we all knew 
         Dsus             D 
Though I did not know the language 
     G        A          D 
The song was "Silent Night" 
 
       G              D  
Then I heard my buddy whisper, 
         A 
"All is calm, and all is bright" 
          Dsus           D 
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me 
           G            Bm 
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong 
       G             D 
But I stood up in my trench 
       A            D 
And I began to sing along 
     A                 G 
Then across the frozen battlefield 
D                      A 
 
Another's voice joined in 
      G               Bm 
 
Until one by one each man became  
 
   G            A 
 
A singer of the hymn 
       Dsus                D 
Then I thought that I was dreaming 
    G                 D 
For right there in my sight 
G                D 
Stood the German soldier 
A 
'Neath the falling flakes of white 
    Dsus                D 
 
And raised his hand and smiled at me 
   G               Bm 
As if he seemed to say 
       G              D 
Here's hoping we both live 
          A             D 
 
To see us find a better way 
         A                    G 
Then the devil's clock struck midnight  
         D           A 
 
And the skies lit up again 
        G                 Bm 
And the battlefield where heaven stood 
     G             A 
Was blown to  hell again 
         Dsus             D 
But for just one fleeting moment 
     G                D 
The answer seemed so clear 
G             D 
 
Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
 
     A               Bm 
 
It's just beyond the fear 
   G              D 
No Heaven's not beyond the clouds 
         A            Dsus           D 
 
It's for us to find it here 
Enjoy!!
