	Bb	Eb
Long	time ago in	Bethlehem,

	F	Bb
So the	Holy Bible	say;

	Eb
Mary’s boy child	Jesus Christ

	Bb	F7	Bb
Was	born on	Christmas	day.

		Bb	Eb	F7	Bb
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Gm	Eb	F
	A	new	king born	today,

		Bb	Eb	Bb	Cm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		Bb	F7	Bb
		Because of	Christmas	day.

		Bb	Eb	F7	Bb
		Trumpets	sound and the	angels	sing,

		Gm	Eb	F
		Listen to	what they	say.

		Bb	Eb	Bb	Cm
	That	man will	live	forever	more,

		Bb	F7	Bb
		Because of	Christmas	day.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

Them see a bright new shining star,

Them hear a choir sing,

The music seemed to come from afar.

		Bb	Eb	F7	Bb
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Gm	Eb	F
	A	new	king born	today,

		Bb	Eb	Bb	Cm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		Bb	F7	Bb
		Because of	Christmas	day.

Now Joseph and his wife Mary,

Come to Bethlehem that night,

Them find no place to lay she child,

Not a single room was in sight.

By and by they find a little nook,

In a stable all forlorn,

And in a manger cold and dark,

Mary's little boy was born.

		Bb	Eb	F7	Bb
		Hark now	hear the	angels	sing,

		Gm	Eb	F
	A	new	king born	today,

		Bb	Eb	Bb	Cm
	And	man will	live	forever	more,

		Bb	F7	Bb
		Because of	Christmas	day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem,

So the Holy Bible say;

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ

Was born on Christmas day.
