Was He A Boy Like Me? Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It's Christmastime,
and soon I know I'll see
Presents underneath
the Christmas tree
Mistle[Asus4]toe and stockings
[G]in [Em]their place
Extra cookie out for Santa [Bm]in ca[A]se
But to[D]night I'm setting [G]up the
manger [Asus4]underneath [A]the tree
And [D]counting all [G]the pieces as a
[Asus4]question comes [D]to [Asus4]me[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Was he a boy like me
[Bm]Did he bounce on daddy's knee?
[Asus4]Did he play games to [D]make
his [G]mother [Asus4]smile?[A][D]
As [Bm]I place the final [Em]piece inside
the [Bm]manger [G]scene
[Asus4]I wonder if he was[D][Asus4]
a boy [A]like me
[D]

[Verse 3]
Throw tinsel on it and some candy canes
Turn on the hi- fi,
Julie Andrew [Dsus4]sings
[G]Jingle bells,
I wish some snow would [Em]fall
Say our thanks,
wish merry Christmas to [A]all
But [D]as I stare out the [G]window at the
[Asus4]Christmas star to[A]night
There's a [D]question I must [G]ask you
and I [Asus4]hope that you don't mind[A]
[D]Was he a

[Verse 4]
boy like me
[Bm]Did he bounce on d[D]addy's knee?[Asus4]
Did he play [D]games to make
his [G]mother [Asus4]smile?
[A]As [D]I pla[Bm]ce the final pie[Em]ce inside
the [Bm]manger [G]scene
[Asus4]I wonder if he was a boy like me[D]
I [A]knocked the wise man

[Verse 5]
[A]
over when I [G]put the baby in
I [A]set him up,
so he could see [G]the child once again
I [Em]fixed the broken [D]shepherd,
so [G]he could stand up tall
[Em]Looking in [D]his eyes I think [G]I see
just what [Asus4]he saw[A][D]

[Verse 6]
He saw a boy [Bm]like me
He bounced him on his knee
[Asus4]They played some games tha[D]t
made his [G]mother [Asus4]smile[A][D]
As [Bm]you place the final [Em]piece
inside your [Bm]manger [G]scene

[Verse 7]
[D]They wondered at this boy
[C]They gaz[G]ed upon this gift
In a [Asus4]boy like [A]me[D][G]
In [Asus4]a boy lik[A]e me[D]
[G][A][D]
