Band

Come down to the man ^G ger, see the little str ^Am anger
Wr ^C apped in swaddling clo ^D thes, the prince of pe ^G ace
Wheels start tur ^G ning, torches start bu ^Am rning
And the o ^C ld wise men jou ^D rney from the E ^G ast
CHORUS:
How a li ^Em ttle baby b ^D oy bring the pe ^C ople so much j ^G oy
Son of a car ^Am penter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must b ^D e ton ^G ight
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
CHORUS
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high
CHORUS
(from Islands, 1977)
