Capo on 2nd



 C5     G5   A5      D5   G5   C5
 Jesus our brother kind and good 
         G5  A5        D5     G5  C5
 Was humbly born in a stable of wood 
               G5  D5     A5 G5   A5  C5
 And the friendly beasts around him stood 
 C5     G5   A5      D5   G5   C5
 Jesus our brother kind and good 

(The same chord progression throughout the whole song)

 "I" said the donkey shaggy and brown 
 I carried his mother up hill and down 
 I carried him safely to Bethlehem town 
 "I" said the donkey shaggy and brown 

 And "I" said the cow all white and red 
 I gave him my manger for a bed 
 I gave him my hay for to pillow his head 
 "I" said the cow all white and red 

 "I" said the sheep with a curly horn 
 I have him my wool for his blanket warm 
 And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn 
 "I" said the sheep with a curly horn 

 "I" said the dove from the rafters high 
 Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry 
 We cooed him to sleep my love and I 
 "I" said the dove from the rafters high 

 And "I" said the camel all yellow and black 
 Over the desert upon my back 
 I brought him a gift in the wise men's pack 
 "I" said the camel all yellow and black 

 Thus every beast remembering it well 
 In the stable dark was so proud to tell 
 Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel 
 The gifts that they gave Emmanuel
