D
How should a King come
G        D
Even a child knows
    A          D
the answer of course
      G        D
In a coach of gold
        A          D
with a pure white horse
        G         D
In the beautiful city
        A            D
In the prime of the day
         G               D
And the trumpets should cry
         A           D
And the crowds make way
         G     A   D
And the flags fly high
        G       D
in the morning sun
         G          D
And the people all cheer
         F#7      Bm
for the sovereign one
     G        D
And ev'ryone knows that's
    F#7           Bm  G
the way that it's do--ne
            D          A           D
That's the way that a King should come

[Verse 2]
E
How should a King come
A      E        B      E
Even a commoner understands
    A                    E
He should come for His treasures
         B          E
And His houses and lands
           A
He should dine upon
E            B           E
summer strawberries and milk
     A          E
And sleep upon bedclothes
    B         E
of satin and silk
     A   B     E
And high on a hill
     A             E
His castle should glow
          A             E
With the lights of the city
     G#7      C#m
like jewels below
    A         E
And ev'ryone knows that's
    G#7           C#m  A
the way that it's do---ne
            E          B           E
That's the way that a King should come

[Verse 3]
      A          E
On a star-filled night
     B      E
into Bethlehem
        A     E
Rode a weary woman
       B       E
and a worried man
        A     E
And the only sound
        B           E
in the cobblestone street
          A              E
Was the shuffle and the ring
          B        E
of their donkey's feet
       A    B   E
And a King lay hid
      A        E
in a virgin's womb
           A       E
And there were no crowds
   G#7     C#m
to see Him come
    A         E
At last in a barn
      G#7      C#m  A
in a manger of ha---y
    E        A     B       E
He came and God incarnate lay

[Ending]
E
And the angels cried
A               E
Glory glory to God
D          A         E      A
Earth was silent so heaven rang
A               E
Glory glory to God
 D        A            E       A
Men were silent so the angels sang
A               E
Glory glory to God
D        A
Peace on earth
      E      A
Good will to men
A               E
Glory glory to God
D          A       E     A
Christ is born in Bethlehem
A        D  E
Glory to Go-d
E     D   E   D  E
Glory in the highest
A        D  E
Glory to Go-d
E     D   E   D  E
Glory in the highest
D         A
Glory to God
