xThis is sort of like a new age Christmas Carol. It was originally played by Boney M,
but this version is a little different.
G C Am
Long time ago in Bethlehem,
D7 G
so the holy Bible say,
G C Am
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
G D7 G
was born on Christmas day.
Chorus:
G C D B7 Em A D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.
G C Am G D7 G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
G C Am
While shepards watched their flocks by night,
D7 G
They saw a bright new shining star.
G C Am
And then they heard a choir sing,
G D7 G
the music seemed to come from afar
Chorus:
G C D B7 Em A D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.
G C Am G D7 G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
G C Am
Then by and by in Bethlehem,
D7 G
In a stable all forlorn.
G C Am
In a manger cold and dark,
G D7 G
Mary's little boy child was born.
Chorus:
G C D B7 Em A D
Hark, now hear the angels sing, the new king born today.
G C Am G D7 G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
G C Am G D7 G
And we shall live for evermore because of Christmas day!
Note: An effective ending would be to ritard(drastically slow down) on the last
"because of Christmas day"
Good Luck and Happy Holidays
