G                C 
Joseph walked to Bethlehem 
G                   D 
Found no room there at the inn 
    G                C          Em 
And knowing not what was to be 
                 D         C 
He lay beside her patiently___

Waitin' on Mary__ 


    G                                 C 
The shepherds watched, the stars grew bright 
    G                       D 
The angel said, "It's gonna be alright 
     G                     C      
Just have some faith, just wait and see 
  Em     D               C 
A miracle will come to be___

And after all these centuries 
          D             G  
The world still has its refugees 
    C             G     Em     F 
The losers in the human race 
                   Am     G  C 
But with the most amazing grace 
        D              G    C    G     C 
They're waitin' on Mary__    (on Mary) 


G         C 
Faraway on some dark hill 
G                          D 
There are faithful waiting still 
    G           C                   Em 
Who have no hope but still believe 
                D             C 
Maybe tonight is Christmas eve___ 
            D              G    C    G    
And they're waitin' on Mary__    (on Mary)
