Once In Royal Davids City chords by Sufjan Stevens

G G7 C  Am C  C Am Em  F C (x2)


 G  G7 C   Am   C
Once in royal David's city

 C  Am Em  F   C
Stood a lowly cattle shed

 G  G7 C   Am    C
Where a mother laid her baby

C Am Em   G7   C
In a manger for His bed

F  C    G7   C
Mary was that mother mild

F   C     G   C
Jesus Christ her little child

G G7 C  Am C  C Am Em  F C


G  G7 C    Am    C
He came down to earth from heaven

C  Am Em    F    C
Who is God and Lord of all

G  G7  C   Am   C
And His shelter was a stable

 C Am  Em  F   C
And His cradle was a stall

 F    C   G7     C
With the poor, oppressed and lowly

 F    C     G   C
Lived on earth our Savior holy

G G7 C  Am C  C Am Em  F C (x2)


G  G7  C
And our eyes

  Am     C
At last shall see Him

 C   Am Em  F    C
Through His own redeeming love

 G  G7  C    Am    C
For that child, so dear and gentle

C Am  Em   G7   C
Is our Lord in heaven above

F    C     G7    C
And He leads His children along

F    C     G   C
To the place that He is gone

G G7 C  Am C  C Am Em  F C (x4)
