Th[G]ere's a pine tree in a window in a house on a h[D]ill
With a tree top angel sitting perfectly st[G]ill
She's watching the shoppers w[G7]alk through the sn[C]ow
With their arms full of tre[G]asures and he[D]arts all ag[G]low
Chorus:
We held ha[C]nds and stared at the lights on the tr[G]ee
As if Christmas was invented just for you and for [D]me.
When the a[G]ngel on the treetop req[G7]uested a s[C]ong.
We sang Silent Ni[G]ght a[D]ll day lo[G]ng
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/john-prine/378673.html ]
The[G]re is a family that's gathering in some living ro[D]om.
Dinner on the table that's been cooking since n[G]oon.
The stockings on the mantle are ha[G7]nging with c[C]are.
While everyb[G]ody is sa[D]ying their pra[G]yers.
Repeat Chorus:

Th[G]ere's a room out there somewhere with a woman in a ch[D]air
With memories of childhood still lingering th[G]ere.
How pretty the paper, the li[G7]ghts and the s[C]now.
How precious those m[G]emories of lo[D]ng long a[G]go.
Repeat Chorus:
Ending:
When the an[C]gel on the treetop requested a so[G]ng.
We sang Silent Night a[D]ll day l[G]ong
