Asleep In The Hay

D  E  A   D  E  A
D  E  A  E/G#  D/F#  Esus


[Verse 1]

D      E       A
Many a man has sought to be God
D              E            A
Destroying the world on his way
D            E        G#m7      
But only one God ever thought to
    F#m7
 be man
       Bm7               Esus  E
He was born on Christmas day


[Verse 2]

D      E          A
Many a pauper has reached for the 
stars
D           E               A
Dreaming of wealth he would own
        D          E      
But the richest of all gave 
  G#m7       F#m7
everything up
     Bm7                     Esus  E
As a star led the way to His home


[Chorus]

  D          E             A2
The world unaware that the baby was 
born
D              E            F#m 
None seemed to care on that 
            F#m/E
first Christmas morn.
Continues after the ad
     D              E            
Only shepherds came running from 
C#m       Dmaj7
hills far away
           Bm7
To see the king of all kings
   A/C#
To bow and obey
    D     E7           D  E  A  
The baby asleep in the hay
  D  E  A



[Verse 3]

    D         E               A
The magi wore crowns as they carried
 their gifts
       D          E          A
To the foot of an old manger bed
     D           E              
That cradled the king who would 
C#m7           F#m
rule the whole world
       Bm7                    Esus
With a crown of thorns on his head
   E



[Chorus]

    D        E             A2
The world unaware that the baby was 
born
D              E            F#m 
None seemed to care on that 
            F#m/E
first Christmas morn.
     D              E            
Only shepherds came running from 
C#m       Dmaj7
hills far away
           Bm7
To see the king of all kings
   A/C#
To bow and obey
    D     E7           F#m  F#m/E
The baby asleep in the hay
    D     E            Dmaj7    
The baby asleep in the hay
E   Dmaj7    E



[Bridge]

D                     E
Majesty, sovereignty, power and 
might
       D/F#                E/G#
In the skin of a baby that first 
Christmas night
   D                     E
No triumphal entry as He came to 
this world
     F#m7                    Dmaj7
Just born of a scared little girl.


[Chorus]

    D        E             A2
The world unaware that the baby was 
born
D              E            F#m 
None seemed to care on that 
            F#m/E
first Christmas morn.
     D              E            
Only shepherds came running from 
C#m       Dmaj7
hills far away
           Bm7
To see the king of all kings
   A/C#
To bow and obey
    D     E7           F#m    F#m/E
The baby asleep in the hay
    D      E           D  E  A  
The baby asleep in the hay.
  D  E  A
