G
The night before Christmas
  C          G
A couple was travelin
  C        G                      Em
A baby was coming before the next day
                G
They slept in a stable
     C       G
With animals around them
    C           G
The Messiah was born
            Em
In a lonely barn
     D         G
In a manger of hay


                 D
The night before Christmas
              G
The world had no Saviour
   C        G
No hope for redemption
                  D
To save them from wrong

God sent down His promise
            G          
The baby King Jesus
  C          G                     Em  
Savation had come for God gave His son
     D         G
That Bethlehem dawn


G
The night before Christmas
  C        G
A new star shining
C             G                
Guiding three Wisemen from the east
               Em
In search of a King
G
It moved through the Heavens
        C       G
To that city of David
   C        G                  Em
It shines today to show us the way 
   D          G
To Christ the King

(chorus x2)
