[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.
