[Verse 1]

               G                        Am
Going down to Bethlehem, see the little son of man
       C                   D                     G
Lying away in the manger, praise the Prince of Peace
              G                     Am
Wheels start turning, fires start burning
         C                     D                   G
Shine a light on the wise men journeying from the East.

[Chorus]

             Em                   C
How could a little baby boy, be bringing down so much joy
         Am       Em  C    Am              Em   C
Son of a carpenter…… Mary carried the light
            C                    G  Em  G  Em
It must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Verse 2]

                        G                    Am
See the shepherds on a hillside, looking up at the sky
      C                      D                  G
On a cold winter night, they hear the angel's sing
               G                       Am
In a dream, I heard a voice, said fear not, come rejoice
         C                      D                   G
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King

[Chorus]

               Em             C
Just a little baby boy, he's bringing us so much joy
         Am      Em  C     Am             Em   C
Son of a carpenter…… Mary carried the light
           C                      G  Em
It must be Christmas, must be tonight

          Am     Em C      Am              Em   C
Son of a carpenter…… Mary carried the light
           C                      G  Em  G  Em
It must be Christmas, must be tonight

[Verse 3]

         G                           Am
Then it came to pass, the child was born at last
          C                D                   G
Happened right before the star that shines on high

[Chorus]
