[Verse 1]
Since the [G]day the angel came
[D]It seemed tha[Em]t everything had changed
[C]The only certain [G]thing was
[Am]the child it moved with[D]in
[G]On the road that would not [D]end,
winding [Em]down to [C]Bethle[Dsus4]hem[G]
[C]So far[Am] awa[D]y from hom[G]e[Am][G]
[C]Just a bla[G]nket on the floor
[D]of [Em]a vacant cattle stall
[Bm]But [C]there the child was [Bm]born,
[G]she [Am]held him in her arms[D]
And as she [G]laid him down to sleep[D],
she [Em]wondered, will it always [Bm]be
[Am]So bitter [D]and so sweet[G][C]
[G]An [Em]d did she see the[Am]re,[D]
in the [G]straw by his [B]head, that [Em]fall?
And did [C]she smell [Am]more,[D]
in the [G]air on that [B]starry [E]night?
Let the [G]words of ancient seer[D]s
Tumble [Em]down the sentient [Bm]hills
[C]The Virgin shall con[Bm]ceive
[G]God [Am]with us, Prince of [D]Peace
Man [G]of sorrows, Stranger[D]'s name
O Joseph, [Em]there it comes [Bm]again
[C]So bit[Am]ter, [D]yet so [G]sweet[C][G]
An[Em]d did she sit th[Am]ere
[D]In the str[G]aw by his hea[B]d
That [Em]fall
And did [C]she smell [Am]her
[D]In the [G]air on that [B]starry [E]night
An[Em]d did she hear an [Am]gels[D] sing[G]
not so [B]far away
[Em]Till at last[C] the sun[Am]
[D]rose blood [G]-red in [B]the [E]Morningstar[Em][G][C#m]
[Em][C#m][C#dim][C][G]
[Am][G][F][C][D]
And as she [G]watched him
through [D]the years,
her joy [Em]was mingled with h[Bm]er tears.
As [C]she'd feel [Am]it all [Bm]again,
[G]the glo[Am]ry and the sha[D]me.
[G]And when the miracles began,
[D]she wondered,
[Em]who is this [D]man?[C][Am][D][G][C][G]
[C]Till again[G]st a darkening [D]sky,
the son she [Em]loved was lifted high
[Bm]And with[C] his dying breat[Bm]h,
she heard [Am]him say, Father forgive
[D]And so the[G] criminal decides
[D]a day with m[Em]e in paradise[D]
[C]So bitter[Am], yet[D] so swe[G]et
An[Em]d if she's still the[Am]re
[D]In the sto[G]rm, I'm his[B] head
[Em]Oh, and if s[C]he smelled h[Am]er
[D]In the [G]air on that [B]starry [E]night
[Am]And the [Em]sinking [Am]angels s[D]ing
[G]Not so far[B] away
[Em]Till at la[C]st the sun[Am]
[D]Rose -blood [G]red in the [B]morning sky
