Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born
EbBbFCEbBbF
Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn
EbBbFCEbBbF
We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape
EbBbFCEbBbF
In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light
(F)
But that was the night before Christmas

Verse 2:
EbBbFCEbBbF
Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet, praying Godspeed the dawn
EbBbFCEbBbF
She looks to her man, holding her hand, they wonder how long
EbBbFCEbBbF
And the shepherds, wise men come to find them, and bow to a king
EbBbFCEbBbF
One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before Christmas

The night before Christmas
