Bing Crosby – It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (Guitar)

   G    C        G
It came upon the midnight clear,

     C        A       D
That glorious song of old,

     G      C       G
From angels bending near the earth

   C           D        G
To touch their harps of gold!

 B7                       Em
"Peace on the earth, good will to men,

     D            A        D
From heaven's all gracious King!

    G        C      G
The world in solemn stillness lay

   C        D      G
To hear the angels sing.

       G           C      G
Still, through the cloven skies, they come

     C        A     D
With peaceful wings unfurled

    G           C        G
And still their heavenly music floats

     C       D     G
O'er all the weary world;

 B7               Em
Above its sad and lowly plains

     D       A        D
They bend on hovering wing.

    G    C        G
And ever o'er its Babel sounds

    C       D      G
The blessed angels sing.

    G        C       G
Yet with the woes of sin and strife

    C          A        D
The world hath suffered long;

  G         C     G
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled

    C       D         G
Two thousand years of wrong;

    B7               Em
And man, at war with man, hears not

    D         A          D
The love song which they bring:

  G        C         G
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,

    C        D      G
And hear the angels sing

    G        C       G
For lo! the days are hastening on

    C      A         D
By prophet bards foretold

      G        C    G
When, with the ever-circling years,

      C        D      G
Shall come the Age of Gold;

     B7               G
When peace shall over all the earth

     D       A         D
It's ancient splendors fling,

    G       C          G
And all the world give back the song

      C       D      G
Which now the angels sing.
