Verse 1:
C
Once in Royal David's City, stood a lowly cattle shed
Am              F              C
Where a mother, laid her baby, in a manger for his bed
F             C            F                C
Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child

Chorus:
         F        C
The real star, in Bethlehem

Was the bright and morning star

They didn't know, well not just yet
              G             Am
What he would mean, to this world
             F              C
The greatest love, came for us
       G                Am
And we threw him in the cold

Even so, he chose, to come

C                       G     Am             F     C
And his shelter, was a stable and his cradle was a stall
F                  C               F                   C
With the poor, the meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy
