While shepherds watch their flocks by night,
           D                  G
they see a bright new shining star.
                  C      Am

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night.
G                      C        Am
They found no place to bear the child,
      G      D           G
not a single room was in sight.

G                     C      Am         D             G

G                C        Am           G      D       G
And in a manger, cold and dark, Mary's little boy was born.

CHORUS:
G         C        D      G       Em       Am     D

Trumpets sound and Angels sing...listen to what they say,

that man will live forever more because of Christmas Day.
