[INTRO]

E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 Asus2Asus2 E minorEm


[VERSE ONE]

       Dsus2Dsus2
Joseph was an old man, an old man was he
    E minorEm       Bm11Bm11   Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm
When he married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee
      Dsus2Dsus2
As Mary and Joseph were walking one day
   E minorEm     G6G6        Dsus2Dsus2     E minorEm  Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm
To an orchard of cherry trees they chanced for to stray
         Dsus2Dsus2
And Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild
   E minorEm        G6G6     Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm
Pick me some cherries Joseph, for I am with child
        Dsus2Dsus2
But Joseph flew angry, so angry flew he
    E minorEm       Bm11Bm11    Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm  Dsus2Dsus2 Bm11Bm11 Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm
Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee


[VERSE TWO]

          Dsus2Dsus2
When up spoke Lord Jesus, from in his mother's womb
  E minorEm    G6G6        Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm
Bow down low cherry trees bow down to the ground
              Dsus2Dsus2
And the cherry trees, they bowed down, bowed low to the ground
  E minorEm      G6G6       Dsus2Dsus2     E minorEm  Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around
        Dsus2Dsus2
And Joseph took Mary all upon his right knee
   E minorEm       Bm11Bm11      Dsus2Dsus2     E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm
Come tell me pretty baby when your birthday shall be
          Dsus2Dsus2
On the fifth day of January my birthday shall be
    E minorEm      G6G6      Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 A augmentedA E minorEm
And the stars and the heavens shall all bow down to me
