Intro: C  F  (4x) 

     C                F 
What babe is this who cries no tears 
    C                      F 
Who brought you forth, who laid you here? 
  C               F 
A little child, a tiny thing 
    C              F 
How can it be they call you king 
            G 
A baby in a manger born 
   F          G 
So early on a Christmas morn 
    Am               G 
The angels sang, the heavens smiled 
   F              
And here you are 
 C            F     C   F

December child, so full of grace 
   C               F 
So humbly born, so highly praised 
     C                     F 
They bring you gifts, they follow stars 
     C                     F 
They say they know who you really are 
                       G 
But you are still your mother's son 
     F               G 
They say you are the chosen one 
    Am                    G 
The kings and queens, the rank and file 
   F            
All know your name 
 C            F     C   F

Bridge: 
                   G           Am 
While the shepherds watch they're keeping 
   F                C     F 
We lie sleeping 


  C                 F 
December child, the world awaits 
    C                  F 
And soon enough you'll meet your fate 
     C                  F 
Your mother's arms will soon grow cold 
    C                   F 
And yearn for her sweet babe to hold 
                      G 
And all the world, in all its need 
     F               G 
Will soon be pulling at your sleeve 
   Am               G 
So give her time, a little while 
   F             
And go to sleep 
 C            F     C   F
