Misc Christmas – In The Bleak Midwinter (Guitar)

C               Am      Dm               G
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

C                   Am    Dm    G       C
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

Dm                Am            C       Dm      G
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,

C               Am      Dm G  C
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

C                       Am        Dm          G
Our God, Heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;

C                       Am        Dm      G        C
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.

Dm              Am        C      Dm       G
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

     C          Am     Dm G   C
The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.

C              Am     D7                G
Angels and Archangels may have gathered there,

C            Am       Dm   G       C
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;

Dm             Am    C      Dm     G
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,

C               Am    Dm   G C
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.

C          Am        Dm        G
What can I give him, poor as I am?

C           Am        Dm       G      C
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

Dm           Am       C       Dm    G
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;

C                Am        Dm   G  C
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
