The Huron Carol chords by Christmas Songs

The Huron Carol – Traditional Canadian Carol


       Am        G         Dm        Em7           Am         Em7           Am
'Twas in the moon of winter-time when all the birds had fled,

      Am        G        Dm      Em7         Am        G          Am
That mighty Gitchi Manitou sent angel choirs instead;

   C            Em           Am            G          Am           G         Am           E
Before their light the stars grew dim, and wond’ring hunters heard the hymn:

   Am           G      F     E       Am      Em7     Am         Em      Am     E7      Am
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria."

     Am      G          Dm        Em7          Am        Em7           Am
Within a lodge of broken bark the tender Babe was found,

   Am        G         Dm        Em7         Am            G        Am
A ragged robe of rabbit skin enwrapp'd His beauty round;

     C        Em        Am             G           Am       G           Am          E
But as the hunter braves drew nigh, the angel song rang loud and high...

   Am           G      F     E       Am      Em7     Am         Em      Am     E7      Am
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria."



   Am          G        Dm        Em7         Am         Em7     Am
O children of the forest free, O sons of Manitou,

     Am      G          Dm           Em7           Am        G         Am
The Holy Child of earth and heaven is born today for you.

      C         Em          Am         G         Am            G         Am           E
Come kneel before the radiant Boy who brings you beauty, peace and joy.

   Am           G      F     E       Am      Em7     Am         Em      Am     E7      Am
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria."



     Am          G         Dm        Em7         Am        Em7           Am
The earliest moon of winter-time is not so round and fair,

    Am         G         Dm       Em7        Am          G        Am
As was the ring of glory on the helpless infant there;

     C             Em       Am          G            Am          G         Am        E
The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt.

   Am           G      F     E       Am      Em7     Am         Em      Am     E7      Am
"Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria."
