[Intro] D A/C# Bm G D
D
It was Christmas Eve in the snowbound west
A/C#
I was ridin' alone, just a man and his vest
Bm
Stars were shining, the air was cold
G
When I heard a cry from the canyon below
D
There he was, a colt so young
A/C#
A broken leg and his hope undone
Bm
But his eyes still burned like a midnight flame
G
And I knew right then, he’d be saved again
A
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night
G
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright
A
With a little faith and a helping hand
G
We can heal the broken in this promised land
D G D
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight!
D
I took him home to the old red barn
A/C#
Wrapped him up safe from the winter’s harm
Bm
Grandpa’s words rang in my mind
G
“The spirit of Christmas is the healing kind.”
D
I worked through the night with my hands and soul
A/C#
Bound his leg, set a brand-new goal
Bm
By morning light, he took a stand
G
With wobbly steps, he touched my hand
A
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night
G
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright
A
With a little faith and a helping hand
G
We can heal the broken in this promised land
D G D
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight!
[Solo] D A A/C# Bm G D A/C# Bm G
D
Then came a sound from the northern wind
A/C#
A jingle of bells and a laugh that grinned
Bm
There stood Santa with his sleigh and crew
G
“My friend, we’ve got work for you!”
D
The colt stood tall, his spirit ablaze
A/C#
Santa smiled, “This is Christmas grace.”
Bm
We hitched him up, and away we flew
G
Through the starry night, spreading dreams anew
A
Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night
G
When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright
A
With a little faith and a helping hand
G
We can heal the broken in this promised land
D G D
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight!

Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night

We can heal the broken in this promised land

Oh, miracles ride on Christmas night

When hearts are strong, and the stars shine bright

With a little faith and a helping hand

We can heal the broken in this promised land
D G D
Oh-oh, oh-oh, a Christmas ride tonight!
D A
As the morning broke on a peaceful town
Bm G
Joy had spread, and love came down
G D G A
That colt now runs with a spirit high
D G A D
A Christmas miracle beneath the western sky
