Tom: C 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] C G C Silent night, holy night.
