The Band - Christmas Must Be Tonight: chords

Intro: G  Em  G  Em  G  Em  G  Em

                  G                       Am
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
  D                            C        G
Wrapped in swaddling, oh the prince of peace
                  G                      Am
The Wheels start turning, torches start burning
        D                      C      G
And the old wise men journey from the East

Chorus:
       Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
          Am       C                 Am    C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                Am            D    G    Em  G  Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

                 G
A shepherd on a hillside
                Am
Where over my flock I bide
      D                          C       G
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
              G
In a dream I heard a voice
                Am
Say, "Fear not, come rejoice
         D
It's the end of the beginning,
            C       G
Praise the newborn king"

Chorus:
       Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
          Am       C                 Am    C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                Am            D    G    Em  G  Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight

               G
I saw it with my own eyes
           Am
Written up in the sky
      D                    C      G
But why a simple herdsmen such as I?
             G
And then it came to pass
        Am
He was born at last
 D                          C        G
Right below the star that shines on high

Chorus:
       Em          Am            D              G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
          Am       C                 Am    C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                Am            D    G    Em  G  Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
          Am       C                 Am    C
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                Am            D    G    Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
      G    Em
Be tonight
