[Verse 1]
E
The horse's hay beneath his head
A C#m F#m
Our Lord was born to a manger bed
A C#m F#m
That all whose wells run dry
A F#m E
Could drink of His supply
E
To keep Him warm, the sheep drew near
A C#m F#m
So grateful for His coming here
A C#m F#m
Come with news of grace
A F#m E
Come to take my place
E
The donkey whispered in His ear
A C#m F#m
"Child, in 30-some-odd years
A C#m F#m
You'll ride someone who looks like me
A F#m E
Untriumphantly"
E
The cardinals warbled a joyful song
A C#m F#m
He'll make right what man made wrong
A C#m F#m
Bringing low the hills
A F#m E
That the valleys might be filled
E
Then "Child", asked the birds
A C#m F#m
"Well, aren't they lovely words we sing?"
A C#m F#m
The tiny baby laid there
B E
Without saying anything
[Verse 2]
E
At a distance stood a mangy goat
A C#m F#m
With the crooked teeth and a matted coat
A C#m F#m
Weary eyes and worn
A F#m E
Chipped and twisted horns
E
Thinking "maybe I'll make friends someday
A C#m F#m
With the cows and the hens and the rambouillet
A C#m F#m
But for now, I'll keep away
A F#m E
I got nothing smart to say"
E
There's a sign on the barn in the cabbage town
A C#m F#m
"When the rain picks up and the sun goes down
A C#m F#m
Sinners, come inside
A F#m E
With no money, come and buy
E
No clever talk, nor a gift to bring
A C#m F#m
Requires our lowly, lovely King
A C#m F#m B E
Come now empty handed, you don't need anything"
