Em               G                      Am
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger

D                                 Cadd9     G
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace

                                        Am
The wheels start turning, torches start burning

        D                    Cadd9    G
And the wise old men journey from the east
[Chorus]
      Em          Am               D           G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy

            Am      C                Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

C            Am              D    G    Em G Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
[Verse 2]
                  G                      Am
A shepherd on the hillside, went over my flock I bide

     D                            Cadd9  G
On a cold winter night, a band of Angels sing

                                      Am
In a dream I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice

         D                                Cadd9    G
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"
[Chorus]
      Em          Am               D           G

            Am      C                Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

C            Am              D    G    Em G Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
[Verse 3]
                 G                    Am
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies

    D                     Cadd9   G
But why a simple herdsmen such as I

                                 Am
And then it came to pass, he was born at last

D                         Cadd9     G
Right below the star that shines on high
[Chorus]
      Em          Am               D           G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy

            Am      C                Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

C            Am              D    G    Em G
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

Em          Am      C                Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light

C            Am              D    G
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
