Bm
G
Say, I'll bet you didn't know that way,
way back,
Clear back to the end
A
of the sixth day of creation,
D
the Lord was mighty tired
after all that work
G
of making the sun, the moon,
A
the stars,
and the earth.
G
What's more, on top of all that,
Bm
He'd made Mr. Adam an d Mrs. Eve,
C
plus elephants, rabbits,
lightning bugs, polar bears,
C#dim
lots of other walking, flying,
A
D
creeping creatures too numerous to even mention.
Bm
Anyway, the Lord had
C
surely earned
G
His seventh day of rest,
A
But as he turned to go,
D
a sudden thought made him stop.
G
He studded on it for a moment,
and then he picked up another
little piece of clay.
D
After shaping it to his liking,
C
G
he reached up on a shelf
and took a pinch of courage,
a dab of humility,
D
six grains of faithfulness,
Cm
a dash of ugly peals,
and a good big handful of
solemn wisdom.
G
Putting all this into the
little animal he had fashioned
Fm
Cm
for a very special time he knew would come,
G
the Lord gave it a pat
F
and sent it down to earth.

a winter's day

the dusty road to Bethlehem

was trod by many feet,
and in that throng a donkey walked,
a donkey small and gray,
as donkeys plod their donkey days
Cm
Fm
in cold or rain or heat.
Bb
Cm
G
No hand reached out to touch him
A
as he went his donkey way,
G
Cm
no scribe set down his donkey name
for men unborn to say,
F
no eye could see a radiance
G
about this lowly one
Cm
who plodded and on to Bethlehem
Bb

with Mary and God's Son.

O carry her safe to Bethlehem,
little grey donkey, tonight.

A king will come, the prophets cried,

On noble steed with golden crown

there was no pomp nor pride
D
Cm
in Bethlehem.

The child king came to Bethlehem

upon a donkey small,

“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
