   Long time ago in         Bethlehem, 
       E7            A                                        
So the    Holy Bible    say,
A         A/C#           D        B7/Eb

       A                         Bm

     E7                  A

      A          A/C#             D         B7/Eb                         
Then    heard a        choir from    heaven        sing,
    A        E7               A                                  
The    music    came from a -    far

Chorus:
A            D           E7         A                               
   Hark, now    hear the     angels    sing, 
  F#m           Bm            E7                                    
A      new king     born to -    day.

And    man will         live for    evermore 
      A           E7          A                                  
Be -    cause of    Christmas    day!
