In The Bleak Midwinter
CAPO 3rd fret (or whichever fits your voice)

*After the C majorC chord after "water like a stone" I tab a transition chord of which I
am not sure of the name but it makes for a smooth yet pronounced change into the
DmDm and is as follows: X3231X

Intro: C, Am, F, G+G

C majorC        A minorAm    FF       G+G
In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,

C majorC          A minorAm  FF   G+G   C majorC
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

DmDm        A minorAm      C majorC    FF    G+G
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,

C majorC        A minorAm   FF  G+G
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

C majorC            A minorAm    FF      G+G
Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;

C majorC            A minorAm    FF    G+G    C majorC
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.

DmDm        A minorAm    C majorC   FF    G+G
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

   C majorC      A minorAm   FF   G+G
The lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.


C majorC        A minorAm  FF         G+G
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,

C majorC       A minorAm    FF  G+G   C majorC
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;

DmDm       A minorAm  C majorC    FF   G+G
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,

C majorC        A minorAm   FF  G+G C majorC
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.

C majorC      A minorAm    FF    G+G
What can I give him, poor as I am?

C majorC      A minorAm    FF     G+G   C majorC
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

DmDm      A minorAm    C majorC    FF   G+G
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;

C majorC         A minorAm    FF  G+G  C majorC
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
