[Verse 1]
                 C                      Dm
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
G                            F         C
Wrapped in swaddling, oh the prince of peace
                 C                      Dm
the Wheels start turning, torches start burning
        G                    F        C
And the old wise men journey from the East
 
 
[Chorus]
      Am          Dm            G              C
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Dm C/E F                    Dm C/E F
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Dm              G  C            Am
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 
C   Am
 
 
[Verse 2]
                C                       Dm
A shepherd on a hillside, where over my flock I bide
       G                           F      C
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
             C                               Dm
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
          G                               F         C
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am          Dm            G              C
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Dm C/E F                    Dm C/E F
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Dm              G  C            Am
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 
C   Am
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
              C                       Dm
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
    G                     F       C
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
            C                    Dm
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
G                         F          C
Right below the star that shines on high
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      Am          Dm            G              C
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
         Dm C/E F                    Dm C/E F
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Dm              G  C            Am
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 
C   Am
 
 
[Refrain]
 
         Dm C/E F                    Dm  C/E F
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
             Dm              G  C            Am
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 
     C    Am     C    Am     C    Am     C
Be tonight, be tonight, be tonight, be tonight
