It's snowing on this Christmas Eve

Think I'll beg another bob or two
   A minorAm
I'll huddle in this doorway here
   E minorEm       B minorBm
'Til someone comes along
A minorAm
If the lamp lighter comes real soon
E minorEm      C majorC     D MajorD
Maybe I'll go home with him

These three wise kings, and, and they were all in different countries. And
          D MajorD       C majorC              D MajorD
they always used to look up at the sky and they looked up this night and saw
   C majorC            D MajorD            C majorC
this beautiful star up in the sky. And when they were going they all meeted
  D MajorD                C majorC               D MajorD
together and whe.., you have.., they had to pass King Herod's place, not that

  E minorEm      D/F#D/F#  G+G     D MajorD
The horses on the cobbled stones go by
      E minorEm    C majorC    D MajorD
Think I'll get one, one fine day
  E minorEm   D/F#D/F#   G+G  D MajorD
And ride into the countryside
  E minorEm  C majorC  E minorEm
And very far away
  A minorAm
But now as the daylight disappears
 E minorEm          B minorBm
I best find a place to sleep
A minorAm
Think I'll slip into the bell-tower
    E minorEm     C majorC    D MajorD
In the church just down the street
G+G         D/F#D/F#    G+G    C majorC   D MajorD

Verse 5:
(Spoken by a street urchin)
       D MajorD           C majorC                  D MajorD
And they said, "Did you not hear the news?" and say he says, "What news?" He
                C majorC         D MajorD
says, "This day the saviour is born." And he says to them, "When you find him,
   C majorC             D MajorD            C majorC
come back and tell me 'cause I want to go and adore him too." And he was only
       D MajorD             C majorC          D MajorD
coddin' them. He wanted to kill him and when they were going, they stopped
     C majorC         D MajorD          C majorC          D MajorD
and they said, "Surely not this old stable that our king is born in. We were
     C majorC      D MajorD
expecting a palace."

Verse 6:
E minorEm      D/F#D/F#   G+G    D MajorD
Maybe on the way I'll find the dog
 E minorEm   C majorC   D MajorD
I saw the other night
  E minorEm      D/F#D/F#   G+G   D MajorD
And tuck him underneath my jacket so
   E minorEm    C majorC      E minorEm
We'll stay warm through the night
  A minorAm
And as we lie in the bell-tower high
  E minorEm        B minorBm
And dream of days to come
  A minorAm
The bells o'er head will call the hours
   E minorEm     C majorC   D MajorD
Some day we will find a home
