Verse 1
B 
Follow the star to a place unexpected
G#m7 
Would  you believe, after all we've projected
C#m7 
E/F# 
A child  in a manger?
B 
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
G#m7 
Unlikeliest hero,
C#m7 
wrapped in his mother's shawl
Just a child
F#sus4 
F# 
Is this who we've waited for?

Chorus 1
B 
'Cause how many kings
Bmaj7 
step down     from their thrones
G#m9 
How    many lords
have abandoned their homes?
C#m11 
How      many greats
F#7sus4 
have become the least for me?
B 
And how many gods
Bmaj7 
have poured   out their hearts
G#m9 
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
C#m11 
How      many fathers
F#7sus4 
F#7 
gave up their sons for me?

Verse 2
B 
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
G#m7 
All    that we have, whether costly or meek
C#m7 
B/D# 
E 
Because  we believe
B 
Gold for his honor,
Bsus4 
B 
G#m7 
and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross He'll suffer
C#m7 
Do     you believe?
F#sus4 
Is this who we've waited for?
F# 
(...who we've waited for?)

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Minor 7ths sit between minor and major in feel. The course covers the shapes and the songs they show up in most often. Learn minor 7th chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
