Here are the chords and lyrics for “Silent Night” (scroll down farther to see them). The song has a slow 6/8 rhythm to it, so you count it: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and repeat. This song sounds great if your fingerpicking to this count or if you do some simple downstrums. It is “Silent Night” so I find the less you overplay the more effective the song is.
