[Verse 1]

               G                
Going down to Bethlehem, see the 
        Am
little son of man
       C                   D      
Lying away in the manger, praise 
               G
the Prince of Peace
              G                  
Wheels start turning, fires start 
   Am
burning
         C                   
Shine a light on the wise men 
  D                   G
journeying from the East.

[Chorus]

             Em                
How could a little baby boy, be 
   C
bringing down so much joy

Son of a carpenter…… Mary 
           Em   C
carried the light

[Verse 2]

                        G       
See the shepherds on a hillside, 
             Am
looking up at the sky
      C                      D    
On a cold winter night, they hear 
              G
the angel's sing
Continues after the ad
               G                 
In a dream, I heard a voice, said 
      Am
fear not, come rejoice
         C                    
It's the end of the beginning, 
  D                   G
praise the new born King

[Chorus]

               Em           
Just a little baby boy, he's 
  C
bringing us so much joy
         Am      Em  C     Am   
Son of a carpenter…… Mary 
          Em   C
carried the light
           C                 
It must be Christmas, must be 
     G  Em

          Am     Em C      Am   
Son of a carpenter…… Mary 
           Em   C

           C                 
It must be Christmas, must be 
     G  Em  G  Em
tonight

Then it came to pass, the child was
  Am
 born at last
          C                D      
Happened right before the star 
             G
that shines on high
