Jesus, oh Jesus Tonight’s the night you’ll be born for us

C9 F7 C7 F7 C Dm G7

It’s time to start your mortal life It all begins this first night

C9 F7 C9 Bb9

The stable, it’s all decked out with hay A fitting start for this glorius day

C9 F7 C7 F7 C

And Mary, she’s gonna push you on out So you can show what your kingdom’s about

Bridge:

Dm7 Em7 F C

The angels are singin’ their songs of joy To celebrate your birth as a little boy

Dm7 Em7 Dm7 G G7

The wise men, they come from far away For this very first Christmas day

C9 F7 C9 Bb9

When you open up your little brown eyes You’ll be the savior in a human disguise

C9 F7 C7 F7 C Am

But now the hay pokes you and it’s cold outside So cry little Lordy, cry, it’s OK

Dm G7 C

Cry little Lordy cry.
