Mary`s Boychild

G C Am D G 1. Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, C Am G D G Mary`s boychild, Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. [Refrão] C D G Em Am D Hark now! Hear the angels sing, new King born today, G C Am G D G and man will live for evermore because of Christmas day. G C Am 2. While shepherds watched their flocks by night, D G they see a bright new shining star. C Am They hear a choir sing a song, G D G the music seemed to come from afar. Chorus G C Am D G 3. Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, come to Bethlehem that night. C Am They find no place to bear their child, G D G not a single room was in sight. G C Am D G 4. By 'n' by they find a little nook, in a stable all forlorn, C Am G D G And in a manger cold and dark, Mary`s little boy child is born. [Refrão] C D G Em Am D Trumpets sound and angels sing! Listen to what they say, G C Am G D G that man will live forever more because of Christmas day. (Repeat first chorus)
