  			G Am D 
  G                                         Am 
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger 
D                                 C         G 
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace 
D            G                         Am 
Wheels start turning, torches start burning 
D                             C        G 
And the old wise men journey from the East 

 
Em                               D 
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy 
Am                   C 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
Am                       
This must be Christmas, must be tonight 

G Am D 
  G                                         Am 
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide 
     D                            C      G 
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing 
D            G                                    Am 
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice 
D                        G                C        G 
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king" 

: 
Em                               D 
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy 
Am                   C 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
Am                       
This must be Christmas, must be tonight 

G Am D 
  G                                         Am 
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies 
D         G               C       G 
But why a simple herdsmen such as I 
D           G                    Am                  
And then it came to pass, he was born at last 
D               G          C        G 
Right below the star that shines on high 

 
Em                               D 
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy 
Am                   C 
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light 
Am                       
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
