INTRO: C  F  (4x)

     C                F
What babe is this who cries no tears
    C                      F
Who brought you forth, who laid you 
here?
  C               F
A little child, a tiny thing
    C              F
How can it be they call you king
            G
A baby in a manger born
   F          G
So early on a Christmas morn
    Am               G
The angels sang, the heavens smiled
   F
And here you are

December child, so full of grace
   C               F
So humbly born, so highly praised
     C                     F
They bring you gifts, they follow 
stars

They say they know who you really 
are
                       G
But you are still your mother's son
     F               G
They say you are the chosen one
    Am                    G
The kings and queens, the rank and 
file
   F
All know your name

                   G           Am
While the shepherds watch they're 
keeping
   F                C     F
We lie sleeping

December child, the world awaits
    C                  F
And soon enough you'll meet your 
fate
     C                  F
Your mother's arms will soon grow 
cold
    C                   F
And yearn for her sweet babe to hold
                      G
And all the world, in all its need
     F               G
Will soon be pulling at your sleeve
   Am               G
So give her time, a little while
   F
And go to sleep
