2000 Decembers Ago chords by Joy Williams

Intro: Dm    Bb    F    C

Verse 1:

       Dm                        Bb
Did it feel like a night any different
         Dm               Bb
Then at least a million before
     Dm                 Bb
Was there any rare expectation
                Dm                        Bb
Like there was some kind of something in store
        Gm         Bb/F            Eb2
Did the sky have to hold back the thunder
        Gm             Dm/F       Eb
Did the moon find new reasons to glow
           Dm         F            Bb2
Could the children somehow sense the wonder
    Dm         C       Dm   -   Bb   -   C
Two thousand Decembers ago

Verse 2:

          Dm                     Bb
Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds
       Dm                       Bb
At the new star that lit up the sky
         Dm                     Bb
Did the willow trees whisper excitement
         Dm                       Bb
To the rivers and streams passing by
        Gm      Bb/F          Eb2
Did the joy ricochet off the mountains
         Gm            Dm/F     Eb
'Til it filled up the valleys below
    Dm             F         Bb2
Did all the world sense love abounding
     Dm         C       Dm      Bb      C
Two thousand Decembers ago


    F               G
Was anyone able to look at the stable
    Am         G           F
And not see a child but a King
                          G
I wish I could hear back over the years
   Am7        G     F                 G
As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing.

Verse 3:

Did the walls of the barn start to tremble
With a glory they could not contain
Did anyone wake with the feeling
Of peace that they could not explain
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
As it warmed everyone in its flow
For all of the earth is still telling
Of two thousand Decembers ago


Was anyone able to look at the stable
And not see a child but a king
I wish I could hear back over the years
As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
Two thousand Decembers ago
