[Verse 1]
C G C
That time of year has come around again,
F C
When everybody treats you like a friend.
F C
The song of joy is heard throughout the land,
C G
Yet people just don't seem to understand.
C G C
I see a man who's beating up his wife,
F C
And someone else is taking their own life.
F C
The policemen are breaking up a fight;
[Chorus]
C G C
Silent night, holy night.
[Verse 2]
C G C
An old young man is sleeping in the park,
F C
And evil men are lurking in the dark.
F C
They're thinking of the evil they can do,
C G
Like robbery, rape and murder too.
C G C
A young girl is looking for some tricks,
F C
To find some money for a fix.
F C
To me it's such an old familiar sight;
[Chorus]
C G C
Silent night, holy night.
[Verse 3]
C G C
Santa claus is ripping people off,
F C
Is it any wonder why I scoff?
F C
There are people who would rather take than give,
C G
And people who've forgotten how to live.
C G C
We say that it's only for the kids,
F C
Drivers drink, although the law forbids.
F C
Some of them will kill before daylight;
[Chorus]
