(Intro: Clean acoustic guitar begins with very gentle, fingerpicked arpeggios, establishing a soft, still atmosphere. The tempo is slow and deliberate.) (Verse 1) (G)Silent night, holy night, (C)All is calm, (G)all is bright. (C)Round yon Virgin, (G)Mother and Child, (D)Holy infant, so (G)tender and mild. (C)Sleep in heavenly (G)peace, (D)Sleep in heavenly (G)peace. (Verse 2) (G)Silent night, holy night, (C)Shepherds quake (G)at the sight. (C)Glories stream from (G)heaven afar, (D)Heavenly hosts sing (G)Alleluia. (C)Christ, the Savior, (G)is born! (D)Christ, the Savior, (G)is born! (Acoustic Guitar Interlude: A short, simple, melodic picking sequence that gently transitions between verses, holding the peaceful, reflective mood.) (Verse 3) (G)Silent night, holy night, (C)Son of God, (G)love's pure light. (C)Radiant beams from (G)Thy holy face, (D)With the dawn of re-(G)deeming grace. (C)Jesus, Lord, at Thy (G)birth, (D)Jesus, Lord, at Thy (G)birth. (Outro) (The music slows down even further. The acoustic picking becomes sparse and delicate, letting the final chords ring out, sustaining the feeling of deep, quiet peace.) (G)Mmm... Holy night... (D)Holy night... (G)Peace... (The final chord fades slowly into complete silence.)
