[Verse 1]
   C           C/B      Am          Am/G
He came in the way that good things come
          F             G      C       C
with the lights shining in his eyes.
    C           C/B              Am           Am/G
And most people thought he was another little babe
     F               G        C       C
that wrinkled up his face and cried.
         G             G             G                    G7
And then one wise man, two wise men, three wise men come afrom afar,
        C            C/B           Am            Am/G
and the many colored men knew this was a special child
    F               G             C       C
and that's why they followed that star.

C    C/B    | Am    Am/G    | F    G   | C        ||

[Verse 2]
        C        C/B           Am       Am/G
He came East and West, then he found himself,
   F             G     C       C
in forty day and forty night.
   C             C/B     Am          Am/G
He gave a lot of love to everyone he met
       F                  G       C       C
and he told them that the way was right.
             G                 G
And then the people drew near, said they want to hear
       G                 G7
what's all this talking about.

And everybody loved that man so much that
     F         G         C       C
they wanted to laugh and shout.

[Verse 3]
      C               C/B             Am     Am/G
But a bunch of people said he had the wrong idea
        F              G        C       C
so they told him to forget that thought.
     C           C/B   Am    Am/G
So a secretive society came about
              F               G         C       C
and they were looking for the love they sought.
             G                        G
And then the people in power said: we gave you an order,
   G                   G7
go back and be a carpenter
        C              C/B  Am           Am/G
But the shining in his face told him was right
            F            G           C       C
and so they put him on a cross right there.

[Verse 4]
     C         C/B        Am          Am/G
Now, he's been gone for a mighty long time,
         F               G       C       C
we've forgotten what the man had said.
C            C/B         Am      Am/G
Look at your life in the right direction
       F              G         C       C
and be sure to look inside your head.
    G                        G
And when you get around your Christmas tree
   G                    G7
be sure to give all you can,
            C                 C/B       Am                Am/G
because the more you're gonna give, the more you're gonna get,
       F          G     C       C
be you woman or a gentleman.

[Verse 5]
     C             C/B              Am   Am/G
Now, Christmas and Easter ain't the only time
     F         G       C       C
that we should be that way.
C            C/B        Am        Am/G
Love all the people and help your neighbor
    F        G     C       C
now each and every day.
    G                        G
And when you do that, you'll see where it's at,
       G                      G7
you'll feel what I'm talking around.
             C          C/B            Am      Am/G
And then the whole wide world is gonna live in peace
    F           G        C       C
and everybody's gonna be found.
