♫ Verse 1:
  D                                   G  D
We're looking for the King, the new Messiah
  D                                G  D  A
We're following the star shining brighter
Bm                  G
Old man, won't you help us if you can?
Em                           A
He shook his head, but he pointed his hand

♫ Chorus: 
  D
There's a new kid in town
          F#m         G              D
And He's lying in a manger down the road
  D
There's a new kid in town
          F#m           G        Bm
But He's just another baby, I suppose

Heaven knows, there's a new kid in town

Here in Bethlehem

I see you've traveled far bearing treasure
 D                                           G  D  A
You say these gifts are for the new King's pleasure
 Bm              G
I've heard that a King might come
 Em                           A
But up 'til now there hasn't been one

Here in Bethlehem
