[Verse 1]
 G
'Twas the night before Christmas
     C               G
When all through the house
      Em
Not a creature was stirring
    D
Not even a mouse
G
No stockings were hung
    C          G
The mantle was bare
Em                   D
St. Nicholas looked around
    C          G
And no one was there
 
[Chorus]
        C                            G
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away
          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh
C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           G                   D                    G    G   C   G
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift
 
[Verse 2]
  G
A house cold and quiet
  C            G
A sad sight to see
   Em
No tinsel, no presents
      D
Not a light on a tree
          G
Just some medals and badges
     C            G
In a frame on the wall
     Em            D
That stand at attention
   C           G
If duty should call
 
[Chorus]
        C                            G
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away
          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh
C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           G                   D                    Em
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift

[Bridge]
G
Green and red paper
C            G
Big bows and ribbons
Em
Outside the snow falls
    D
And Icicles glisten
G
Joy To The World
       C        G
From a caroling choir
Em        D
Mistletoe kisses
        C          G
Throw a log on the fire
 
[Chorus]
         C                            G
'Cause tonight there's a soldier in a land far away
          D                       G
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh
C                          G          C
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           G                   D                    Em   Em   C   C
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift
      G                   D                  G
Yeah, God blessed America with the soldier's gift
