Verse 1
Since the (A flat major) day the angel came
(E flat major) It seemed (F minor) that everything had changed
The (D flat major) only certain thing (A flat major) was
(B flat minor) the child it moved with (E flat major) in
(A flat major) On the road that would not (E flat major) end,
winding (F minor) down to (D flat major) Bethle (E flatsus4) hem (A flat major)
(D flat major) So far (B flat minor) away (E flat major) from (A flat major) home (B flat minor) (A flat major)
(D flat major) Just a (A flat major) blanket on the floor
(E flat major) of (F minor) a vacant cattle stall
(C minor) But (D flat major) there the child was born, (C minor)
(A flat major) she (B flat minor) held him in her (E flat major) arms
And as she (A flat major) laid him down to sleep (E flat major) ,
she wondered, (F minor) will it always (C minor) be
(B flat minor) So bit (E flat major) ter and so (A flat major) sweet (D flat major)
(A flat major) An (F minor) d did she see (B flat minor) there, (E flat major)
in the (A flat major) straw by his (C major) head, that (F minor) fall?
And did (D flat major) she smell (B flat minor) more, (E flat major)
in the (A flat major) air on that (C major) starry (F major) night?
Let the (A flat major) words of ancient seer (E flat major) s
Tumble (F minor) down the sentient (C minor) hills
(D flat major) The Virgin shall con (C minor) ceive
God (A flat major) (B flat minor) with us, Prince of (E flat major) Peace
Man (A flat major) of sorrows, Stranger (E flat major) 's name
O Joseph, (F minor) there it comes again (C minor)
(D flat major) So bit (B flat minor) ter, (E flat major) yet so (A flat major) sweet (D flat major) (A flat major)
An (F minor) d did she sit (B flat minor) there
(E flat major) In the (A flat major) straw by his (C major) head
That (F minor) fall
And did (D flat major) she smell (B flat minor) her
(E flat major) In the (A flat major) air on that (C major) starry (F major) night
An (F minor) d did she hear (B flat minor) an gels (E flat major) (A flat major) sing
not so (C major) far away
(F minor) Till at (D flat major) last the (B flat minor) sun
(E flat major) rose blood (A flat major) -red in the (C major) (F major) Morningstar (F minor) (A flat major) (D minor)
(F minor) (D minor) (Ddim) (D flat major) (A flat major)
(B flat minor) (A flat major) (G flat major) (D flat major) (E flat major)
And as she (A flat major) watched him
through the years, (E flat major)
her joy (F minor) was mingled with her tears. (C minor)
As (D flat major) she'd feel (B flat minor) it all again, (C minor)
(A flat major) the (B flat minor) glory and the (E flat major) shame.
(A flat major) And when the miracles began,
(E flat major) she wondered,
(F minor) who is this man? (E flat major) (D flat major) (B flat minor) (E flat major) (A flat major) (D flat major) (A flat major)
(D flat major) Till again (A flat major) st a darkening sky, (E flat major)
the son she (F minor) loved was lifted high
(C minor) And (D flat major) with his dying breath, (C minor)
she heard (B flat minor) him say, Father forgive
(E flat major) And so (A flat major) the criminal decides
(E flat major) a day with (F minor) me in paradis (E flat major) e
(D flat major) So bit (B flat minor) ter, (E flat major) yet so (A flat major) sweet
An (F minor) d if she's still (B flat minor) there
(E flat major) In the (A flat major) storm, I'm (C major) his head
Oh, (F minor) and if (D flat major) she smelled (B flat minor) her
In (E flat major) the (A flat major) air on that (C major) starry (F major) night
And (B flat minor) the (F minor) sinking angels (B flat minor) (E flat major) sing
(A flat major) Not so (C major) far away
(F minor) Till at (D flat major) last the (B flat minor) sun
Rose (E flat major) -blood (A flat major) red in the (C major) morning sky
