Intro: Dm    Bb    F    C 

Verse 1:
 
       Dm                        Bb 
Did it feel like a night any different 
         Dm               Bb  
Then at least a million before  
     Dm                 Bb 
Was there any rare expectation 
                Dm                        Bb   
Like there was some kind of something in store 
        Gm         Bb/F            Eb2  
Did the sky have to hold back the thunder  
        Gm             Dm/F       Eb 
Did the moon find new reasons to glow 
           Dm         F            Bb2   
Could the children somehow sense the wonder 
    Dm         C       Dm   -   Bb   -   C 
Two thousand Decembers ago  

Verse 2:
 
          Dm                     Bb 
Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds 
       Dm                       Bb  
At the new star that lit up the sky 
         Dm                     Bb  
Did the willow trees whisper excitement 
         Dm                       Bb  
To the rivers and streams passing by 
        Gm      Bb/F          Eb2  
Did the joy ricochet off the mountains  
         Gm            Dm/F     Eb 
'Til it filled up the valleys below 
    Dm             F         Bb2  
Did all the world sense love abounding 
     Dm         C       Dm      Bb      C 
Two thousand Decembers ago  


    F               G      
Was anyone able to look at the stable  
    Am         G           F 
And not see a child but a King 
                          G  
I wish I could hear back over the years 
   Am7        G     F                 G  
As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing.  

Verse 3: 

Did the walls of the barn start to tremble  
With a glory they could not contain  
Did anyone wake with the feeling  
Of peace that they could not explain  
Oh the love must have been overwhelming  
As it warmed everyone in its flow  
For all of the earth is still telling  
Of two thousand Decembers ago  


Was anyone able to look at the stable  
And not see a child but a king  
I wish I could hear back over the years  
As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing  
Oh the love must have been overwhelming  
Two thousand Decembers ago
