Verse 1
Since the (G major) day the angel came
(D major) It seemed (E minor) that everything had changed
The (C major) only certain thing (G major) was
(A minor) the child it moved with (D major) in
(G major) On the road that would not (D major) end,
winding (E minor) down to (C major) Bethle (Dsus4) hem (G major)
(C major) So far (A minor) away (D major) from (G major) home (A minor) (G major)
(C major) Just a (G major) blanket on the floor
(D major) of (E minor) a vacant cattle stall
(B minor) But (C major) there the child was born, (B minor)
(G major) she (A minor) held him in her (D major) arms
And as she (G major) laid him down to sleep (D major) ,
she wondered, (E minor) will it always (B minor) be
(A minor) So bit (D major) ter and so (G major) sweet (C major)
(G major) An (E minor) d did she see (A minor) there, (D major)
in the (G major) straw by his (B major) head, that (E minor) fall?
And did (C major) she smell (A minor) more, (D major)
in the (G major) air on that (B major) starry (E major) night?
Let the (G major) words of ancient seer (D major) s
Tumble (E minor) down the sentient (B minor) hills
(C major) The Virgin shall con (B minor) ceive
God (G major) (A minor) with us, Prince of (D major) Peace
Man (G major) of sorrows, Stranger (D major) 's name
O Joseph, (E minor) there it comes again (B minor)
(C major) So bit (A minor) ter, (D major) yet so (G major) sweet (C major) (G major)
An (E minor) d did she sit (A minor) there
(D major) In the (G major) straw by his (B major) head
That (E minor) fall
And did (C major) she smell (A minor) her
(D major) In the (G major) air on that (B major) starry (E major) night
An (E minor) d did she hear (A minor) an gels (D major) (G major) sing
not so (B major) far away
(E minor) Till at (C major) last the (A minor) sun
(D major) rose blood (G major) -red in the (B major) (E major) Morningstar (E minor) (G major) (C sharp minor)
(E minor) (C sharp minor) (C sharpdim) (C major) (G major)
(A minor) (G major) (F major) (C major) (D major)
And as she (G major) watched him
through the years, (D major)
her joy (E minor) was mingled with her tears. (B minor)
As (C major) she'd feel (A minor) it all again, (B minor)
(G major) the (A minor) glory and the (D major) shame.
(G major) And when the miracles began,
(D major) she wondered,
(E minor) who is this man? (D major) (C major) (A minor) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) Till again (G major) st a darkening sky, (D major)
the son she (E minor) loved was lifted high
(B minor) And (C major) with his dying breath, (B minor)
she heard (A minor) him say, Father forgive
(D major) And so (G major) the criminal decides
(D major) a day with (E minor) me in paradis (D major) e
(C major) So bit (A minor) ter, (D major) yet so (G major) sweet
An (E minor) d if she's still (A minor) there
(D major) In the (G major) storm, I'm (B major) his head
Oh, (E minor) and if (C major) she smelled (A minor) her
In (D major) the (G major) air on that (B major) starry (E major) night
And (A minor) the (E minor) sinking angels (A minor) (D major) sing
(G major) Not so (B major) far away
(E minor) Till at (C major) last the (A minor) sun
Rose (D major) -blood (G major) red in the (B major) morning sky
