[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7 D/F# Once upon a time in a far off land C D/F# C D/F# G Wise men saw a sign and set out 'cross the sand G Cmaj7 D/F# Songs of praise to sing they travelled day and night C D/F# C D/F# G Precious gifts to bring guided by the light
[Verse 2]
G Cmaj7 D/F# They chased a brand new star ever towards the west C D/F# C D/F# G Across the mountains far but when it came to rest G Cmaj7 D/F# They scarce believed their eyes They'd come so many miles C D/F# C D/F# G And this miracle they prized was nothing but a child
[Chorus]
C G C G G/F# Em7 Nothing but a child could wash those tears away C D/F# C D/F# G Or guide a weary world into the light of day C G C G G/F# Em7 And nothing but a child could help erase those miles C D/F# C D/F# G So once again we all can be children for a while

G Cmaj7 D/F# Now all around the world in every little town C D/F# C D/F# G Every day is heard a precious little sound G Cmaj7 D/F# And every mother kind and every father proud C D/F# C D/F# G Looks down in awe to find another chance allowed
[Chorus]
C G C G G/F# Em7 Nothing but a child could wash those tears away C D/F# C D/F# G Or guide a weary world into the light of day C G C G G/F# Em7 And nothing but a child could help erase those miles C D/F# C D/F# G So once again we all can be children for a while
