INTRO:
                    G
Come down to the manger,
                  Am
see the little stranger
  C                     D                     G
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
               G
Whels start turning,
                 Am
torches start burning
        C                D            G
And the old wise men journey from the East

CHORUS:
        Em        D
How a little baby boy
            C            G
bring the people so much joy
            Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                             D    G
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside,
while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice
saying "fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"

CHORUS:How...

I saw it with my own eyes,
written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass,
he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

CHORUS:How...
