Chords

Fernandos quite different take on this classic Original key is in E, I play it in C capo 4 = E and I use Fmaj7 instead of F [Intro] C F G C F G C F G [Verse 1]
C        F       G     C
[tab]                      F     G
How still we see thee lie!

C         F        G         C
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

    F      G        C
The silent stars go by;

           F            G  Am
Yet in thy dark streets shineth

    F           G       G
The everlasting Light;

    C         F        G       C
The hopes and fears of all the years

    F      G      C
Are met in thee tonight.
C G [Verse 2]
C             F       G C
For Christ is born of Mary,

                 G
And gathered all above,

C             F          G      C
While mortals sleep, the angels keep

      F     G            C
Their watch of wondering love.

          F        G Am
O morning stars, together

   F              G       G
Proclaim the holy birth!

    C       F       G       C
And praises sing to God our King,

    F        G      C
And peace to men on earth.
[Chorus]
  F
O holy Child of Bethlehem!

   Em
Descend to us, we pray;

     F
Cast out our sin and enter in,

   C          G        G
Be born in us today.

   F                  Am F
We hear the Christmas angels

    G                  C
The great glad tidings tell;

   F
O come to us, abide with us,

    C          G
Our Lord Emmanuel!
G [Verse 4]
    C     F       G     C
How silently, how silently,

                     F
The wondrous gift is given!

C      F          G     C
So God imparts to human hearts

    F         G      C
The blessings of his heaven.

           F        G Am
No ear may hear his coming,

C           F        G      G
But in this world of sin,

C          F          G            C
Where meek souls will receive him, still

    F           G      C
The dear Christ enters in.
C [Chorus]
  F
O holy Child of Bethlehem!

   Em
Descend to us, we pray;

     F
Cast out our sin and enter in,

   G                  G
Be born in us today.

   F                  Am F
We hear the Christmas angel

    G                  C
The great glad tidings tell;

   F
O come to us, abide with us,

    C          G
Our Lord Emmanuel!

O little town of Bethlehem,

                      F     G
How still we see thee lie!

C         F        G         C
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

    F      G        C
The silent stars go by;
