[Verse 1]
[C]I was born in Bethlehem
[G]2,000 years [F]have passed since [C]then
And [G]I've [F]done what [G]I can
To be [Em]there when [G]a man can't [E]find [Am]a friend
On the [G]streets of Bethlehem
[C]As the story always said
We were trying to [F]find [C]a bed
It was [Am]cold, [F]I was lat[G]e
And we [Em]stood outside the
[G]locked [E]gate of the [Am]inn
Until [Dm]the kindness of strangers let us [G]in
To a stable 'round the back
[C]Little mor[F]e than a s[C]hack
[F]Where my sweet [G]mother, meek [Em]and mild
And her[G]self [E]only [Am]a child
Gave [Dm]her best, then took her [G]rest
Do do do [C]do do [G]do do...
[F][C][G][F][Dm][G][C]
At the door then [G]came [C]a knock
Shepherds who had [F]quit [C]their flock
With [F]their eyes round with [G]fear
Daddy [Em]jumped up [E]an [G]d cried
[E]"Get out of [Am]here!"
But Mother [Dm]stilled him and bid them draw [G]near
I was there but couldn't [C]see
The unfolding [F]mystery
[C]Kin[F]gs with their pre[G]sents
Of [Em]gold, myrrh and [G]frankin[E]cense
[Am]Who set [Eaug]them
[Abaug]Before the [Ab]Lamb[Fm]
[C]'Ne[D]ath the st[G]ar of Bethlehem
[C]I was born in Bethleh[E]em
[C]It's been 2,0[F]00 years since the[C]n
But [F]I've done what [G]I can
To be [Em]there [E]when a m[G]an can't fin[E]d a f[Am]riend
I was [G]born in Bethle[Dm]hem
[C]
