Subject: here ya go gregg new song from garth brooks

belleau wood 1917 (Garth Brooks)
upcoming album 'sevens'
note:  this has become my favorite song now!  Also I don't know if the words
are all right, so please feel to correct ~ transcribed by nevrdiyung@aol.com

<BM> oh the snow flakes fell in <D>scilence, over belleau wood that <G>night
<G>for a christmas goose had been <D>prepared, on both sides of the <G>line
<BM>as we laid there in our <D>trenches, the scilence broke <G>into
<G>by a german soldier <D>singing, a song that we all <G>knew

<BM>though I did not know the <D>language, the song was silent <G>night
<G>then I heard my buddy <D>whisper, all is calm all is <G>bright
<BM>then then fear in I srounded <D>me, as I died if I was <G>wrong
<G>but I stood up in my <D>tench, and I began to sing <G>along

<G>then across the frozen battlefield anothers voice joined <D>in 
until one by one each man <G>became a singer of the <BM>hymn

<BM>then I thought I was <D>green, for right there in my <G>side
<G>stood the german <D>soldier, who had a fallen face of <G>white
<BM>and he raised his hand and smiled at <D>me, as if seemed to <G>say
<G>he was hopeing that we would both live to <D>see, find a better <G>way

<G>then the devils clock struck midnight, and the skies lit up <D>again
and the battlefield where <G>heaven stood,  is blowin up <BM>again

<BM>but for just one fleeting <D>moment, the answer seemed so <G>clear
<G>heavens not beyond the <D>clouds, its just beyond the <G>field
<BM>no heavens not beyond the <D>clouds, it for us to find <G>here
