Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Mary[B] and[Em] the[B] baby[Em], hungry.
[B]Yes[Em], we know what hun[D]gry mean.
[Em]So we bring them p[A]eas and rice
and a [Em]little [A]ginger [Em]tea.
[G]Only pi[Am]geon, [G]pea[D]s and rice,
a [G]little ginger [D]tea.[G]
Mary [Am]thanked [G]us [D]with her eyes.
She [G]poured the same [D]as [Em]we.
[C]She [G]poured the [Em]same as we.
Mary and the [B]baby, [Em]lonely,
and lonely is not [D]good to be.
So we [Em]sit a while, and we [A]chat a while,
to keep [Em]them [A]company.
[Em]Stay[G] a while[D], make the baby smile,
[G]past the time [D]of [G]day.
When we [Am]see [D]how pleased they be,
it [G]makes us glad we [Em]stay,
[C]so [B]glad that we could [Em]stay.[B]
[Em]Mary and the baby [B]weary,
[Em]oh, we know what w[D]eary be.
So [Em]we make a bed and
[A]pillow for their head
with [Em]down from the [A]maho [Em]tree.
[G]Only [D]down from the maho tree
to [G]rest them soft [D]and [G]good.
We feel [D]bad, these be all we had
But we [G]do the best [Em]we could
[C]We [Bm]do the best[B] w[Em]e could
Mary and the babe rest easy
We go away and [D]let them be
On hush [Em]tip [B]-toe a[Em]nd voice k[A]ept l[Em]ow,
we look up and see
[G]Star of hope shine [D]in the sky
to [G]mark the [D]baby's [G]birth
Seems to say it's the [D]morning day
of [G]better times on [Em]earth
[C]Of [G]better [B]times onward

[Outro 1]
