[Verse]

                            Am/E

Oh, Mary, Joseph, rest your eyes

                        Em11

Try not to think of the ending

                             Am/E

World full of empty, He will die

                  D/F#         Em11

But tonight He is still just a child

 

                             Am/E

The silent night drifts all away

                            Em9

And the angels are dancing around you

                                     G5

There's the joy of knowing He'll save the world

    C5add9       G5/B            Am

Overshadowing the pain that He'll go through

 

 

[Chorus]

          C5add9

   Have you cursed at the wind

          G5/B

   Have you cried to the heavens

          Am7              D/F#      G5

   Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand

          C5add9

   When the wise men kneel down

      G5/B                            Amadd9/E  E  Am

   To kiss the hand of this king they found

      Ebdim7   Em9

   In Bethlehem town

 

 

[Verse]

                            Am/E

Will you hold back the years a while

                                     Em9

Will you dream that this man could always be a child

                        G5

And never carry all the weight

       C5add9       G5/B            Am

Of the dirt and the distance and the company we keep

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

C  F#m7  B7

   Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand

          C5add9

   When the wise men kneel down

      G5/B                            Amadd9/E  E  Am

   To kiss the hand of this king they found

      Ebdim7   Em9

   In Bethlehem town

 

 

[Bridge]

               C                A7/C#         D

      And did the stars shine much brighter that night

             C            A7/C#            D           Ebdim7

      You gave birth to the death that would bring us to life

               Em9               G7

      And did the mystery keep you awake

            C            G/B          A

      Was the sound of His little heart too much to take

 

 

          C5add9

   When the wise men kneel down

      G5/B                            Amadd9/E E Am Ebdim7

   To kiss the hand of this king they found

 

 

[Chorus]

          C5add9

   Have you cursed at the wind

          G5/B

   Have you cried to the heavens

          Am7              D/F#      G5

   Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand

          C5add9

   When the wise men kneel down

      G5/B                            Amadd9/E  E  Am

   To kiss the hand of this king they found

      Ebdim7   Em9

   In Bethlehem town
