[Verse 1]
C           G             Am
  Oh little town of Bethlehem
             F            C  G Am F
Looks like another silent night
C           G                  Am
 Above your deep and dreamless sleep
        F                  C G Am F
A giant star lights up the sky
C                  G            Am
  And while you're lying in the dark
      F             C           G Am F
There shines an everlasting light
C       G                   Am
For the King has left His throne
        F            C             G   Am   F
And is sleeping in a manger tonight - tonight
 
[Chorus 1]
C          G
   Oh Bethlehem,
              Am
what you have missed
               F
while you were sleeping
    C            G
For God became a man
             Am               F
And stepped into your world today
C            G
    Oh Bethlehem, you will go
 Am          F
down in history
     C            G             Am
As a city with no room for its King
F                  C G Am F
While you were sleeping
                   C G Am F
While you were sleeping
 
[Verse 2]
C        G             Am
   Mary shivers in the cold
          F                  C G  Am  F
Trying to keep the savior warm
C              G
Born among the animals
Am               F
Wrapped in dirty rags
              C               G
because there was no room for him
       Am               F
in the world he came to save
 
[Chorus 2]
C          G
   Oh Bethlehem,
              Am
what you have missed
               F
while you were sleeping
    C            G
For God became a man
             Am               F
And stepped into your world today
C            G
    Oh Bethlehem, you will go
 Am          F
down in history
     C            G             Am
As a city with no room for its King
F                  C G Am F
While you were sleeping
                   C G Am F
While you were sleeping
 
[Verse 3]
C         G              Am
   United States of America
             F           C  G  Am  F
Looks like another silent night
C                 G
 As we're sung to sleep
            Am                 F
by philosophies, That save the trees
             C  G  Am  F
and kill the children
C                  G            Am
   And while we're lying in the dark
          F
There's a shout heard 'cross
     C         G  Am  F
the eastern sky
C          G              Am
   For the Bridegroom has returned
        F                  C
And has carried his bride away
            G        Am    F
in the night, in the night
 
[Verse 4]
C       G                Am
   America, what will we miss
             F
while we are sleeping
     C          G
Will Jesus come again
             Am                  F
And leave us slumbering where we lay
 
C       G              Am           F
   America, will we go down in history
     C              G            Am   F
As a nation with no room for its King
             C  G  Am  F
Will we be sleeping
             C  G  Am  F
Will we be sleeping
C         G              Am
   United States of America
             F            C
Looks like another silent night
