[verse 1]
 B
'Twas the night before Christmas
     E               B
When all through the house
      G#m
Not a creature was stirring
    F#
Not even a mouse
B
No stockings were hung
    E          B
The mantle was bare
G#m                   F#
St. Nicholas looked around
    E          B
And no one was there

[chorus]
        E
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a
B
land far away
          F#
While the children listen for the
 B
bells on a sleigh
E                          B          E
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           B
But you'll sleep well America,
F#                    B    B   E   B
that's the soldier's gift

[verse 2]
  B
a house cold and quiet
  E            B
a sad sight to see
   G#m
No tinsel, no presents
      F#
Not a light on a tree
          B
Just some medals and badges
     E            B
In a frame on the wall
     G#m            F#
That stand at attention
   E           B
If duty should call

[chorus]
        E
Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a
B
land far away
          F#
While the children listen for the
 B
bells on a sleigh
E                          B          E
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           B
But you'll sleep well America,
F#
that's the soldier's gift

[bridge]
B
Green and red paper
E            B
Big bows and ribbons
G#m
Outside the snow falls
    F#
And Icicles glisten
B
Joy To The World
       E        B
From a caroling choir
G#m        F#
Mistletoe kisses
        E          B
Throw a log on the fire

[chorus]
         E                            B
'Cause tonight there's a soldier in a land far away
          F#                       B
While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh
E                          B          E
We've never met 'em, names not on our list
           B                   F#                    G#m  G#m  E  E
But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift
      B                   F#
Yeah, God blessed America with the soldier's gift
