[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 shepherds 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
And in a manger cold and dark,
G D7 G
Mary's little boy 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!
Note: An effective ending would be to ritard (drastically slow down) on the last
"because of Christmas day"

Mahalia Jackson did the original. Then Harry Belafonte. KK.

Great arrangement, even though I prefer a G chord to the B7.
