mary's boy child

(verse 1) 
 G               C    Am 
Long time ago in Bethlehem, 
        D         G     
So the Holy Bible say, 
             C            Am 
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ, 
     G         D       G 
Was born on Christmas day, 

           C        D      G 
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
          Em7       Am7   D 
A newborn King was born today, 
     G             C       Am7 
And man will live forever more, 
  G           D       G 
Because of Christmas day. 
           C         D      G  
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
 Em7       Am7       D  
Listen to what they say, 
      G              C      Am7 
That Man will live forever more, 
  G            D      G    
Because of Christmas day. 
 
(verse 2) 
 
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, 
They saw a bright new shining star, 
They heard a choir sing, 
The music seemed to come from afar, 

           C        D      G 
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
          Em7       Am7   D 
A newborn King was born today, 
     G             C       Am7 
And man will live forever more, 
  G           D       G 
Because of Christmas day. 
           C         D      G  
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
 Em7       Am7       D  
Listen to what they say, 
      G              C      Am7 
That Man will live forever more, 
  G            D      G    
Because of Christmas day. 
 
 
(verse 3) 
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary, 
Come to bethlehem that night, 
They found no place to bear her child, 
Not a single room was in sight. 

           C        D      G 
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
          Em7       Am7   D 
A newborn King was born today, 
     G             C       Am7 
And man will live forever more, 
  G           D       G 
Because of Christmas day. 
           C         D      G  
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
 Em7       Am7       D  
Listen to what they say, 
      G              C      Am7 
That Man will live forever more, 
  G            D      G    
Because of Christmas day. 
 
 
(verse 4) 
By and by, they find a little nook, 
In a stable all forlorn, 
And in a manger cold and dark, 
Mary's litlle Boy was born! 

           C        D      G 
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
          Em7       Am7   D 
A newborn King was born today, 
     G             C       Am7 
And man will live forever more, 
  G           D       G 
Because of Christmas day. 
           C         D      G  
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
 Em7       Am7       D  
Listen to what they say, 
      G              C      Am7 
That Man will live forever more, 
  G            D      G    
Because of Christmas day.
