[Intro]

[Verse]
D    Dmaj7               D6     Gadd9                 [ D ]
       My poor heart was heavy,   my poor heart was stone
D      Dmaj7                  D6       Gadd9             [ D ]
Then I heard them - they were angels,    and they were singing:
D    Dmaj7           D6     Gadd9
        'You're not alone',  
            D     Dmaj7          D6     G6           [ D ]
'There is a peace   you've never known'


[Verse]
D    Dmaj7          D6       Gadd9                [ D ]
       I could hear trumpets,  I could hear them blow
D        Dmaj7           D6       Gadd9         [ D ]
Then the angels summoned chariots,  the angels told them
D    Dmaj7            D6     Gadd9
        'Swing, swing low'
           D         Dmaj7            D6     G6       
The angels told them   'swing, swing low'


[Chorus]
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4            Dadd4
Carry this boy, towards the light
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           [ D ]
Carry him home tonight

[Verse]
D    Dmaj7              D6      Gadd9               [ D ]
       If your heart is heavy,    if your heart is stone,
D       Dmaj7                D6       Gadd9          [ D ]
May you hear them - they are angels,    they may be singing 
D    Dmaj7      D6     Gadd9
        About a throne,
        D      Dmaj7           D6     G6       
About a peace,    in the never-known


[Chorus]
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4            Dadd4
Carry this boy, towards the light
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           [ G ]
Carry him home tonight

G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4            Dadd4
Carry this boy, towards the light
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           Dadd4
Carry this boy, away from danger
G            D   
Sweet gospel music
A7sus4           [ D ]
Carry him home tonight
