Johnny Cash – What Child Is This (Guitar)

     Am       C         G       Em
What Child is this who, laid to rest

   Am     F      E
On Mary's lap is sleeping?

     Am     C          G       Em
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,

      Am        E         Am
While shepherds watch are keeping?

C             G          Em
This, this is Christ the King,

     Am        F         E
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;

C                G         Em
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,

    Am        E      Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Am       C          G       Em
Why lies He in such mean estate,

      Am     F       E
Where ox and ass are feeding?

     Am          C         G       Em
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here

    Am     E       Am
The silent Word is pleading.

C                  G           Em
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,

    Am       F         E
The cross be borne for me, for you.

C              G         Em
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,

    Am        E      Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

   Am        C        G        Em
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,

     Am       F       E
Come peasant, king to own Him;

    Am      C        G      Em
The King of kings salvation brings,

    Am     E        Am
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

C              G       Em
Raise, raise a song on high,

    Am     F         E
The virgin sings her lullaby.

C            G         Em
Joy, joy for Christ is born,

    Am        E      Am
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
