[Verse 1]
[D]Bob Shane Tom Drake Miriam Stafford
As it fell out on a cold winter day,
the [G]drops of [D]rain did [A]fall.
Our [D]Sa vior asked leave of his [G]mother,
[D]Mary, if He might go [A]play at [D]ball.

[Verse 2]
[D]"Go up the hill," His mother said,
"and [G]there you will [D]find three [A]jolly children.
But [D]let me hear no com[G]plaint of [D]You
when You come [A]home [D]again."

[Verse 3]
But [D]the children said,
"We are royal sons [G]and we [D]will not [A]play at ball,
For [D]You are but a [G]poor maid's [D]child,
born in an [A]oxen stall."

[Verse 4]
"If [D]you are Lord's and Ladies' sons
[G]and you [D]will not [A]play at ball.
I'll [D]build you a bridge of the [G]beams of
[D]the sun to play [A]upon us [D]all."

[Verse 5]
And He [D]built them a bridge of the beams of the sun
and [G]over the [D]pools they [A]played, all three,
And [D]the mothers called, "Mary,
call [G]home your [D]child," their eyes all [A]drowned in [D]tears.

[Verse 6]
Mary [D]mild (Mary mild,
Mary mild), Mary mild (Mary mild) called home [C]her [D]Child.
And [G]when she [D]asked Him,
[A]"Why?" Said He,
"Oh, I [D]built them a bridge of the [G]beams of
[D]the sun so they would play at [A]ball with [D]me.
So they would [A]play with [D]me."
