Am
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem
Mary being great with child had no place to lie down
So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
[Verse 2]
Am C Am
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
G D Am
A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay
Am C Am
His royal robe was swaddling cloth, a halo was His crown
G D Am
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
[Chorus]
G D G
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
D G
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
Em G Em
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
D C E
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
[Verse 3]
Am C Am
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
G D Am
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
Am C Am
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him
G D Am
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem
[Chorus]
G D G
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
D G
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
Em G Em
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
D C E
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
