[Verse 1]
C                               Em
Out here is the country there's magic in the air.
         F                            Dm            G
It's the middle of December there's excitement everywhere
C                       Em
Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
    F
The gift is just what's in your heart
    Dm                 G
And not what's in your hand


[Chorus]
    F                G       C
And who's the one we need to thank
F               G
Who's the party for
F                G    C       F                  G
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
F                   C           F              G
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
    Am            G    F             Dm7        G      C
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy

[Verse 2]
C
There were times we didn't think
     Em
We'd make it through the year
    F
The bankers tried to take our farms
    Dm                  G
But somehow we're still here

  C
I don't know how our crops survived
    Em
The drought and then the rain
   F
It must have been a miracle
    Dm               G
How else could you explain


[Chorus]
    F                G       C
And who's the one we need to thank
F               G
Who's the party for
F                G    C       F                  G
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
F                   C           F              G
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy

    Am            G    F             Dm7        G      C   C
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy
G     Am           G       F     Dm
  The Christ Child born in Bethlehem
F          G      C
Joesph and Mary's boy
