Intro: D

 D                      G   A   D
 I was awakened on a Christmas night
  D                        G        A
 Somebody shaking me and shining a light
Bm     F#m     Bm        F#m
 “Wake up the winter is here
       G      D      Em       A     A7
 And snow is falling on the ground”

 D                          G A   D
 Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight
      D                         G     A
 And for a little boy it was a magic night
Bm    F#m          Bm        F#m
 My friends were playing outside
       G       D       Em       A    A7
 And snow was tumbling on the ground

A               A7             D
 And we saw a thousand candles in the night
A                A7             D
 Moving to the church upon the hill
A                 A7                D
 When the people saw us they said “come inside”
A                   A7                  D   D7
 And the song that night they sing it still

         G       C    D        B7          Em
