Once Upon A Christmas chords by Dolly Parton

✝ Verse 1:
 Am
Once upon a Christmas far away in Bethlehem

Mary being great with child had no place to lie down

So Joseph found a stable in which Mary had her child

Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ



✝ Verse 2:
 Am      C       Am
Once upon a Christmas in a manger far away
  G               D         Am
A King was born His palace was a manger filled with hay
    Am       C        Am
His royal robe was swaddling cloth, a halo was His crown
 G           D      Am
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem

✝ Chorus:
   G                 D        G
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
                D        G
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
      Em       G          Em
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
 D               C       E
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ


✝ Verse 3:
 Am      C        Am
Once upon a Christmas from the Far East wise men came
   G                  D         Am
With gold and myrrh and frankincense to praise the newborn King
     Am         C            Am
And shepherds left their flocks and came to see and worship Him
  G           D    Am
Once upon a Christmas away in Bethlehem


✝ Chorus:
G                 D        G
And all the world rejoiced because the King was born at last
                D        G
A savior had been promised now it had come to pass
      Em       G          Em
And the joyful news that He was born spread quickly far and wide
 D               C       E
Once upon a Christmas was the birth of Jesus Christ
