[Verse 1]
[Am]Silence
Oh, I remember the [G]silence
On a cold winter [Am]day
After many months on the [G]battlefield
And we were used to the [C]violence
Then all the cannons went [G]silent
And the [Dm]snow fell
Voices sang to me [C]from no man's [G]land
[Am]We are all
[G]We are all
[C]We are all
[Dm]We are all frien[E]ds

[Chorus 1]
And [C]today we're all [G]brothers
To[Am]night we're all [Em]friends
A [C]moment of [G]peace in a war [Am]that never [G]ends
To[C]day we're all [G]brothers
We [Am]drink and [Em]unite
Now [C]Christmas has ar[G]rived
and the snow [Am]turns the ground [G]white
Hear [C]carols from the [G]trenches
We [Am]sing O Holy [F]Night
Our [Dm]guns laid to [C]rest among [G]snowflakes
A [F]Christmas in the [D]trenches
A [G]Christmas on the [E]front
far from [Am]home[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Madness (madness)
Oh, I remember the [G]sadness (sadness)
We were hiding our [Am]tears (hiding our tears)
In a foreign land where we [G]faced our fears
(faced our fears)
We were [C]soldiers (soldiers)
Carried the war on our [G]shoulders (shoulders)
For our [Dm]nations (nations)
Is that why we [C]bury our [G]friends?
(Bury our friends)
[Am]We were all
[G]We were all
[C]We were all
[Dm]We were all frie[E]nds
(yes, we were friends)

[Chorus 2]
And [C]today we're all [G]brothers

Now [C]Christmas has ar[G]rived
and the snow [Am]turns the ground [G]white
Hear [C]carols from the [G]trenches

And today we're all brothers
Tonight we're all friends
A moment of peace in a war that never ends
Today we're all brothers
We drink and unite

[Outro 1]
Hear [C]Christmas on the [F]frontline
We [G]walk among our [C]friends
We don't [Am]think about [Dm]tomorrow
The [E]battle will com[Am]mence
When we [C]celebrated [F]Christmas
We [G]thought about our [C]friends
Those who [Am]never made it [Dm]home
When the [E]battle had [Am]commenced
