1.   Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says,

                               C              Am            G              D           G

    Mary`s boychild,     Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.


                    C          D         G         Em          Am      D

Hark now! Hear the angels sing, a king was born today,

          G                  C       Am         G               D           G

and man will live forever more because of Christmas day.

Chorus:

                  C              D          G    Em          Am          D

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say,

          G                  C       Am         G              D            G
that man will live forever more because of Christmas day.




    G                                                 C           Am

2.     While shepherds watch their flocks by night,

                        D                           G

    they see a bright new shining star.

                                 - C           Am

    They hear a choir      sing a song,

                      G              D                 G

    the music seemed to come from afar.
(Repeat Chorus) 



    G                                    C     Am                   D                      G

3.     Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night.

                                          C                Am

    They found no place to      bear the child,

              G        D                 G

    not a single room was in sight
(Repeat Chorus)




    G                                     C     Am              D              G

4.     And then they found a little nook, in a stable all forlorn.

                                 - C               Am                G     D            G

    And in a manger,       cold and dark, Mary`s little boy was born.




Chorus:
                  C              D          G    Em          Am          D

Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say,

          G                  C       Am         G              D            G
that man will live forever more because of Christmas day.
