John Denver - Peace carol

The ^Ggarment of life, be it t^Amattered and torn The ^D7cloak of the soldier is ^Gwithered and worn But what c^Emhild is this that was ^Ampoverty-born The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay

The ^Gbranch that bears the ^Ambright holly The ^D7dove that rests in ^Gyonder tree The ^Emlight that shines for ^Amall to see The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay

The ^Ghope that has slumbered for ^Am2000 years The ^D7promise that silenced ^G1000 fears A f^Emaith that can hobble an o^Amcean of tears The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay

The ^Gbranch that bears the^Am bright holly The ^D7dove that rests in ^Gyonder tree The ^Emlight that shines for^Am all to see The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay

Add ^Gall the grief that ^Ampeople may bear ^D7Total the strife, the ^Gtroubles and care ^EmPut them in columns and ^Amleave them right there The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay

The ^Gbranch that bears the ^Ambright holly The ^D7dove that rests in ^Gyonder tree The ^Emlight that shines for^Am all to see The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay The ^Gbranch that bears the ^Ambright holly The ^D7dove that rests in ^Gyonder tree The ^Emlight that shines for^Am all to see The ^D7peace of Christmas ^GDay
