INTRO: C F (4x)
C F
What babe is this who cries no tears
C F
Who brought you forth, who laid you here?
C F
A little child, a tiny thing
C F
How can it be they call you king
G
A baby in a manger born
F G
So early on a Christmas morn
Am G
The angels sang, the heavens smiled
F
And here you are
C F C F
December child___
C F
December child, so full of grace
C F
So humbly born, so highly praised
C F
They bring you gifts, they follow stars
C F
They say they know who you really are
G
But you are still your mother's son
F G
They say you are the chosen one
Am G
The kings and queens, the rank and file
F
All know your name
C F C F

BRIDGE:
G Am
While the shepherds watch they're keeping
F C F
We lie sleeping
C F
December child, the world awaits
C F
And soon enough you'll meet your fate
C F
Your mother's arms will soon grow cold
C F
And yearn for her sweet babe to hold
G
And all the world, in all its need
F G
Will soon be pulling at your sleeve
Am G
So give her time, a little while
F
And go to sleep
C F C F

For all the world, in all its need

Will soon be pulling at your sleeve
Am G
So give her time, a little while
