MARY'S BOY CHILD

G                C
Long time ago in Bethlehem 
       D          G
so the Holy Bible says
G               C  
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ 
    G/D    D7        G
was born on Christmas Day

G         C        D7     G
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
  Em         Am     D
a new King's born today
D/F#G        D/A  G/B  C    Am7
And Man will live for - ever more, 
  G/D     D         G
Because of Christmas Day

G
While shepherds watched 
      C
their flocks by night
           D                  G
They see a bright new shining star
G                 C  
They hear a choir sing a song, 
          G/D      D7         G
The music seemed to come from afar

G         C        D7     G
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
  Em         Am     D
a new King's born today
D/F#G        D/A  G/B  C    Am7
And Man will live for - ever more, 
  G/D     D         G
Because of Christmas Day

G        C         D7     G
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
Em        Am        D
listen to what they say
D/F# G        D/A  G/B  C    Am7
That Man will live for - ever more, 
  G/D     D          G
Because of Christmas Day

G                   C
Now Joseph, and his wife Mary,
        D              G  
came to Bethlehem that night
     G                C
Them find no place to bear her Child,
      G/D    D7          G  
not a single room was in sight

A              D
By and by they found a little nook 
     E             A
in a stable all forlorn
    A           D
And in a manger cold and dark, 
       A/E   E7      A
Mary's little Boy was born

A         D        E7     A
Hark, now hear the angels sing, 
  F#m        Bm     E
a new King's born today
E/G#A        E/B  A/C# D    Bm7
And Man will live for - ever more, 
  A/E     E         A
Because of Christmas Day

A        D         E7     A
Trumpets sound and angels sing, 
F#m       Bm        E
listen to what they say
E/G# A        E/B  A/C# D    Bm7
That Man will live for - ever more, 
  A/E     E         A
Because of Christmas Day
