Silent Night - Idina Menzel - looking for the chords

My wife recorded the performance by Idina Menzel of "Silent Night" on the Today show this morning. This had to be one of the coolest versions I have ever heard. The feel was Gospel, and the chord substitutions were unexpected, surprising, and very refreshing.

 

She showed the perfect amount of restraint on her vocal performance, sticking with the less is more philosophy, never once resorting to vocal gymnastics.

 

So now I'm trying to find a copy of the arrangement. I've looked through Google and Bing, and cannot seem to find it.

 

Any ideas where I can get this? I am willing to pay for a legal copy of the sheet music.

I could probably figure it out, I just haven't got time right now. I was looking to see if perhaps it was published somewhere.

 

I don't need detailed notation. I'm a chart/ear player, not a sight reader.

 

I will say that the version that was on the Today show was definitely live. Different than the studio cut. Much better IMHO. There was a Gospel feel on the Today show, where the studio cut was typical film-like production.
