CHRISTMAS MUST BE TONIGHT- The Band
[G] [Em] [G] [Em]
Come down to the man[G]ger, see the little str[Am]anger
Wr[C]apped in swaddling clo[D]thes, the prince of pe[G]ace
Wheels start tur[G]ning, torches start bu[Am]rning
And the o[C]ld wise men jou[D]rney from the E[G]ast
CHORUS:
How a li[Em]ttle baby b[D]oy bring the pe[C]ople so much j[G]oy
Son of a car[Am]penter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must b[D]e ton[G]ight
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
CHORUS
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high
CHORUS
(from Islands, 1977)
