G C Am
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
D G
So the Holy Bible say,
C Am
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
G D G
Was born on Christmas day,
C D G
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
Em7 Am7 D
A new King born today,
G C Am7
And man will live for evermore,
G D G
Because of Christmas day.
G C. Am
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
D. G
They saw a bright new shining star,
C. Am
They heard a choir sing a song;
G D G
The music came from afar,
C D G
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
Em7 Am7 D
A new King born today,
G C Am7
And man will live for evermore,
G D G
Because of Christmas Day.
G C Am
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,
D G
Came to bethlehem that night;
C Am
They found no place to bear their child,
G D G
Not a single room was in sight.
G C Am
By and by, they found a little nook,
D G
In a stable all forlorn,
C Am
And in a manger cold and dark,
G D G
Mary's litlle Boy child was born!
C D G
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
Em7 Am7 D
New King born today,
G C Am7
And man will live for evermore,
G D G
Because of Christmas day.
C D G
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Em7 Am7 D
Listen to what they say,
G C Am7
That Man will live for evermore,
G D G
Because of Christmas day.
