This is a fantastic Welsh carol that deserves to be part of every Christmas celebration. The title in Welsh is Tua Bethlehem Derf, and it is tricky to find a good version. There is a band called "Lost Hollow" who has a nice arrangement available on Spotify that I recommend. I won't be writing their arrangement, but they show that there is plenty of room in this song for creative harmonies and musical breaks. Enjoy what may be the most haunting melody in all of Christmas music. Am can be substituted for A5, but for solo acoustic it adds an important texture. A5 E--5 B--5 G--2 D--2 A--0 E--x On to Bethlehem Town Verse 1:
Am Dm Am On to Bethlehem Town G Am Join the crowd and travel down Dm G/B Am Down the road that leads us to the cradle A5 G A5 Come all who are able F C G Am Come, come to the stable Dm Am E With hearts full of joy as we kneel and pray Am G Am Come and see the child G Am With his mother Mary mild Dm G/B Am Come along and worship at the cradle Verse 2: Am Dm Am There we'll see the boy G Am Hearts abound with boundless joy Dm G/B Am In the everlasting word A5 G A5 We'll bow before him F C G Am Come, come and adore him Dm Am E Bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh Am G Am On to Bethlehem town G Am Join the crowd and travel down Dm G/B Am Down the road that leads us to the cradle
