[Verse 1]
D               A             G         D
While shepherds watched their flocks by night...
    Bm     A      G
All seated on the ground,
    G            A         F#m
The angel of the Lord came down,
    G     A       D
And glory shone around.

D               A       G      D
Fear not,” said he, for mighty dread...
    Bm           A        G
Had seized their troubled minds;
     G                A     F#m
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
   G       A      D
To you and all mankind.
   G       A      D
To you and all mankind.


[Chorus]
   D          A           G
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
            A
Comfort and Joy
   D          A           G     A
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy  (ohh)

[Verse 2]
D         A       G         D
To you in David’s town this day
   Bm      A       G
Is born of David’s line
  G               A          F#m
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
    G          A      D
And this shall be the sign

    D        A        G           D
The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
   Bm    A       G
To human view displayed,
    G                 A        F#m
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
    G    A      D
And in a manger laid

[Chorus]
   D          A           G
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
            A
Comfort and Joy
   D          A           G     A
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy   (ohh)
