[Verse 1]
D E A
Many a man has sought to be God
D E A
Destroying the world on his way
D E G#m7 F#m7
But only one God ever thought to be man
Bm7 Esus E
He was born on Christmas day
[Verse 2]
D E A
Many a pauper has reached for the stars
D E A
Dreaming of wealth he would own
D E G#m7 F#m7
But the richest of all gave everything up
Bm7 Esus E
As a star led the way to His home
[Chorus]
D E A2
The world unaware that the baby was born
D E F#m F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
D E C#m Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from hills far away
Bm7
To see the king of all kings
A/C#
To bow and obey
D E7 D E A D E A
The baby asleep in the hay
[Verse 3]
D E A
The magi wore crowns as they carried their gifts
D E A
To the foot of an old manger bed
D E C#m7 F#m
That cradled the king who would rule the whole world
Bm7 Esus E
With a crown of thorns on his head
[Chorus]
D E A2
The world unaware that the baby was born
D E F#m F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
D E C#m Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from hills far away
Bm7
To see the king of all kings
A/C#
To bow and obey
D E7 F#m F#m/E
The baby asleep in the hay
D E Dmaj7 E Dmaj7 E
The baby asleep in the hay
[Bridge]
D E
Majesty, sovereignty, power and might
D/F# E/G#
In the skin of a baby that first Christmas night
D E
No triumphal entry as He came to this world
F#m7 Dmaj7
Just born of a scared little girl.
[Chorus]
D E A2
The world unaware that the baby was born
D E F#m F#m/E
None seemed to care on that first Christmas morn.
D E C#m Dmaj7
Only shepherds came running from hills far away
Bm7
To see the king of all kings
A/C#
To bow and obey
D E7 F#m F#m/E
The baby asleep in the hay
D E D E A D E A
The baby asleep in the hay.
