[Verse 1]
F                Bb    Gm
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
C7         F
so the holy Bible say,
F                Bb     Gm
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
F       C7        F
was born on Christmas day.

[Chorus]
F         Bb       C      A7
Hark, now hear the angels sing
Dm       G      C
The new king born today
F                 Bb   Gm
And we shall live for evermore
F        C7        F
Because of Christmas day!

[Verse 2]
F
While shepards watched
Bb         Gm
their flocks by night
C7                   F
They saw a bright new shining star.
F                 Bb     Gm
And then they heard a choir sing,
F              C7    F
the music seemed to come from afar.

[Chorus]
F         Bb       C      A7
Hark, now hear the angels sing
Dm       G      C
The new king born today
F                 Bb   Gm
And we shall live for evermore
F        C7        F
Because of Christmas day!

[Verse 3]
F                 Bb    Gm
Then by and by in Bethlehem,
C7            F
In a stable all forlorn.
F           Bb       Gm
In a manger cold and dark,
F          C7        F
Mary's little boy child was born.

[Chorus]
F         Bb       C      A7
Hark, now hear the angels sing
Dm       G      C
The new king born today
F                 Bb   Gm
And we shall live for evermore
F        C7        F
Because of Christmas day!
