[Intro]
A D x2
A D E A
Joseph was tired, they'd been traveling all day
D A D E
It was almost midnight before he found a place to stay
A D E A
He put the burro in the stall, then knelt beside his wife
D A E A
To comfort her as she went through, the pain of giving life
[Pre Chorus]
D E A D
Up above a star was shining brightly in the sky
D A C D
Joseph held the baby child and showed him to his wife
[Chorus]
G C D C G Am D
And he said, " Merry Christmas, Mary, let me be the first to say
G C Em A7 Am D7 G
Merry Christmas, Mar- y, the son of God has come to us to- day"
A D E A
There was someone at the door, and Joseph turned to see
D A D E E/B
Some plain and simple shepherd men down on bended knee
A D E A
They talked about an angel who told them where to come
D A E A
In the middle of the night to see, God's only son
[Pre Chorus]
D E A D
Then later there came wise men bearing gifts and offer- ins
D A C D
And Joseph led them all to see and praise the new born king
C/E D7/F#
Praise the new born king
[Chorus]
G C D C G Am D
And he said, " Merry Christmas, Mary, let us be the first to say
G C Em A7 Am D7 G
Merry Christmas, Mar- y, the son of God has come to us today"
C D/A G
Tears of joy were gently flowing out of Joseph's eyes
C G C Em D
While up above the angels sang, " Glory to God!"
[Chorus]
A D E D A Bm E
Merry Christmas, Mary, let us be the first to say
A D F#m B7 Bm E7 A
Merry Christmas, Mar- y, the son of God has come to us today
Bm E A D A
The son of God has come to us to day
