MARY’S BOY CHILD
[Verse 1]
[C] Long time ago in [F] Bethle-[Dm]-hem, so the [G7] Holy Bible [C] say,
[C] Mary's boy child [F] Jesus [Dm]Christ
was [C] born on [G7] Christmas [C] day.
[CHORUS]
[Verse 2]
[C] While shepherds watched their [F] flocks by [Dm] night, they saw a [G7] bright new shining [C] star.
And [C] then they heard a [F] choir [Dm] sing, the music [C] seemed to come [G7] from [C] afar
[CHORUS]
[C] Hark, now [F] hear the [G] angels [E7] sing, the [Am] new king [D] born [G] today.
And [C] we shall live for [C] ever-[Dm]-more be-[C]-cause of [G7] Christmas [C] day!
[Verse 3]
[C] Then by and by in [F] Bethle-[Dm]-hem, in a [G7] stable all for-[C]-lorn.
And [C] in a manger [F] cold and [Dm] dark, Mary's [C] little [G7] boy was [C] born.
[CHORUS]
NOW JOSEPH AND HIS WIFE MARY
COME TO BETHLEHEM THAT NIGHT
AND FIND NO PLACE TO BORNE SHE CHILD NOT A SINGLE ROOM WAS IN SIGHT
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BY AND BY THEY FIND A LITTLE NOOK IN A STABLE ALL FORLORN
AND IN A MANGER COLD AND DARK MARY’S LITTLE BOY WAS BORN
