Dm                     Bb
The night is so cold The sheep are afraid
Dm  C    Bb           Dm
Gabriel what have you done?
    Dm                        Bb
We’re sitting here alone Like fools on a hill
         Dm  C   Bb            Dm    C  Dm  C  A
Thinking Gabriel what did you say?

[Chorus]
         D                    G          D
He said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
       G       D               Em   F#m G A
In the city of David Christ is born
D                                  G         D
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
          Em         A7            D
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.

[Verse 2]
Dm                    Bb
Never have I seen an angel before
     Dm        C     Bb            Dm
In a blaze of light shining in the night.
    Dm                   Bb
And did the angel say, a boy has been born
      Dm     C       Bb           Dm   C  Dm  C  A
In a stable and he’s lying in the hay?

[Chorus]
         D                    G          D
He said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
       G       D               Em   F#m G A
In the city of David Christ is born
D                                  G         D
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
          Em         A7            D
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.

[Verse 3]
Dm                  Bb
This is the day we thought would never come
       Dm      C     Bb       Dm
When a Saviour came into the world
   Dm                    Bb
So lift up your voice to heaven and sing
    Dm    C           Bb        Dm   C  Dm  C  A
A joyful song for the new baby king.

[Chorus]
         D                    G          D
He said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
       G       D               Em   F#m G A
In the city of David Christ is born
D                                  G         D
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
          Em         A7            D
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.

         D                    G          D
He said “Fear not for I bring tidings of joy
       G       D               Em   F#m G A
In the city of David Christ is born
D                                  G         D
Come through the stable door to a manger of straw
          Em         A7            D
Where the Prince of Peace has been born”.
