To all mods, the owner(s) of this great site, to the great people who contribute so much, particularly Nick, Wes, Vic, Noteboat, have a great Christmas and thanks so much from a very grateful guitar player.

here's the song. For Chris, try playing this with DD UUD strummming for the verses, and DD strumming for the bits in the chorus that you are only on for a short time. All the best, Matt
(G)A long time ago in (C)Bethlehem,
so the (D)Holy Bible (G)say,
Mary's boy child, (C)Jesus Christ
was (D)born on Christmas (G)day

Chorus:
(G)Hark now (C)hear the (D)angels (G)sing,
a new King (C)born to(D)day
and (G)man will live for(C)ever more,
be(D)cause of (C)Christmas (G)day

(G)Joseph and his (C)wife, Mary,
came to (D)Bethlehem that (G)night,
they found no place to (C)lay their heads,
not a (D)single room was in (G)sight

(G)By and by they found a (C)little place
in a (D)stable all for(G)lorn,
and in a manger (C)soft and deep,
(D)Mary's little (C)boy was (G)born

Chorus

(G)Trumpets (C)sound and (D)angels (G)sing,
(C)listen to what they (D)say,
(G)"Man shall live for(C)evermore,
be(D)cause of (C)Christmas (G)day"

Thank you Matt,

I'll try this over the next few day's. Thanks also for the tips on my last offering Blue Christmas. (I'm pretty sure I got the strum pattern wrong. Apologies!) Happy Christmas to you and yours Matt.

Come on all ye faithful Guitarnoise addicts post some more easy seasonal songs here and don't forget to try David Hodge's excellent Chrismas song lessons out too.
