Christmas Eve

     C                G         
That time of year has come around 
   C
again,
     F                          
When everybody treats you like a 
 C
friend.
    F                              
The song of joy is heard throughout
     C
 the land,
    C                        
Yet people just don't seem to 
       G
understand.
  C               G              
I see a man who's beating up his 
C
wife,
    F                              
And someone else is taking their 
  C
own life.
    F                          
The policemen are breaking up a 
 C
fight;


[Chorus]
C             G    C
Silent night, holy night.


[Verse 2]

   C                G             
An old young man is sleeping in 
  C
the park,
    F                          
And evil men are lurking in the 
 C
dark.
        F                        
They're thinking of the evil they 
     C
can do,
     C                        G
Like robbery, rape and murder too.
  C             G                
A young girl is looking for some 
C
tricks,
    F                    C
To find some money for a fix.
   F                           
To me it's such an old familiar 
 C
sight;


[Chorus]
C             G    C
Silent night, holy night.



[Verse 3]
C              G              C
Santa claus is ripping people off,
F                      C
Is it any wonder why I scoff?
          F                      
There are people who would rather 
           C
take than give,
    C                              
And people who've forgotten how to 
G
live.
   C             G            C
We say that it's only for the kids,
F                C
Drivers drink, although the law 
forbids.
F                           
Some of them will kill before 
     C
daylight;


[Chorus]
C             G    C
Silent night, holy night.
