they (D minor) got too close to the sun (A minor) ,

to the (A minor) ground;

The (D minor) Devil signed his name to the (A minor) plan,
After a (F major) couple of days there was
(E minor) nothing there at all,
(A minor)

And it's a long, long (A minor) way, to Bethlehem,
It's a long, long way, to Bethlehem,
It's a long, (A major) long (A minor) way, to Bethlehem,
It's a long, long way!
