Mary’s Boy Child

Verse 1:
G                C     Am
Long time ago in Bethlehem, 
       D7         G
so the holy Bible say,
G                C     Am
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ 
    G       D7        G
was born on Christmas day.
 
Chorus:
G         C        D      B7        Em       A      D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today. 
    G                 C   Am     G        D7        G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
 
Verse 2:
G                            C         Am
While shepards watched their flocks by night, 
         D7                   G
They saw a bright new shining star.
    G                 C     Am
And then they heard a choir sing,
          G              D7    G
the music seemed to come from afar
 
Chorus:
G         C        D      B7        Em       A      D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today. 
    G                 C   Am     G        D7        G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
 
Verse 3:
G                 C     Am
Then by and by in Bethlehem,
     D7            G
In a stable all forlorn.
G           C        Am
In a manger cold and dark,
       G          D7        G
Mary's little boy child was born.
 
Chorus:
G         C        D      B7        Em       A      D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today. 
    G                 C   Am     G        D7        G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
    G                 C   Am     G        D7        G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
