[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          F#m7
But only one God ever thought to 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        G#m7       F#m7
But the richest of all gave 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             F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
     D              E            C#m       Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from hills far away
           Bm7
To see the king of all kings
   A/C#
To bow and obey
    D     E7           D  E  A    D  E  A
The baby asleep in the hay


[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              C#m7           F#m
That cradled the king who would rule the whole world
       Bm7                    Esus   E
With a crown of thorns on his head


[Chorus]

    D        E             A2
The world unaware that the baby was born
D              E            F#m             F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
     D              E            C#m       Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from 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    E   Dmaj7    E
The baby asleep in the hay


[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             F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
     D              E            C#m       Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from 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    D  E  A
The baby asleep in the hay.
