Mary's Boy Child
Songwriter/Composer/Translator Harry Belafonte
Bb Eb Cm Long time ago in Bethlehem, F7 Bb so the Holy Bible say, Bb Eb Cm Mary's boy child Jesus Christ Bb F7 Bb was born on Christmas day. Bb Eb F D7 Gm C F Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King was born today. Bb Eb Cm Bb F7 Bb And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day! Bb Eb F D7 Gm C F Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say, Bb Eb Cm Bb F7 Bb And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day! Bb Eb Cm While shepherds watched their flocks by night, F7 Bb They saw a bright new shining star. Bb Eb Cm They hear a choir sing a song, Bb F7 Bb The music seemed to come from afar Bb Eb Cm Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary, F7 Bb Come to Bethlehem that night; Bb Eb Cm They found no place to bear her child, Bb F7 Bb Not a single room was in sight. Bb Eb F D7 Gm C F Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King was born today. Bb Eb Cm Bb F7 Bb And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day! Bb Eb Cm By and by, they find a little nook, F7 Bb In a stable all forlorn. Bb Eb Cm And in a manger cold and dark, Bb F7 Bb Mary's little boy was born. Bb Eb F D7 Gm C F Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King was born today. Bb Eb Cm Bb F7 Bb And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day! Bb Eb F D7 Gm C F Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say, Bb Eb Cm Bb F7 Bb And man will live for evermore because of Christmas day!
