_ Once _ _ upon a _ time _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ in a far off land, _ _ _ _ _ _ wise men saw a sign _ _ and _ _ set out across the sand.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ Songs of praise to _ sing, _ _ _ _ _ [C] they traveled _ day _ [F#m] and night.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [C] _
_ Precious gifts to _ [F#m]
bring, _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C]
guided _ _ [D] by [G] the _ light.
_ _ _ They _ chased a brand new _ star, _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
ever _ _ towards the [F#m] _
west, _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
crossed the mountains _ [D] _
far.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C] When it [F#] came [D] to [G] _
rest, _ _ [C] _ _ [G] their scarce _ belief _ _ _ _ _ arised.
_ _ _ [C] They'd come so _ many _ [D] _
miles, [F#m] _ _ _ _ [C] and this _ _ miracle _ they [D] _
prized [F#m] _ _ _ was [C] _
nothing _ [D] _ but _ [G] a _ child.
_ _ _ [C] _
Nothing _ [G] _ but a [C] child _ _ _ _ _ [G] could wash those [F#] tears _ _ [Em] away, _ _ _ _ _ [C] or guide a weary _ [F#] _
[F#m] world _ _ _ _ [C] into _ the [D] _ light [G] of day.
_ And _ _ _ [C] _
nothing _ [G] _ but a [C] _
child _ _ _ _ [G] could help [F#] erase _ those [Em] _
miles.
_ _ _ _ [C] So once _ again [G] we [D] _
all _ can be [C] _ _
children _ [D] for _ _ [G] a while. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now _ all _ around the _ _ world, _ _ _ [Gm] _ [C] in every _ _ _ little [D] _ town, _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] every _ day [G] _ [F#m] is heard, _
_ _ [D] _ hey [Am] precious _
_ [D] _ little _ [G] _ town.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ And every _ mother _ _ kind, _ _ _ _ _ [C] and every _ _ father _ [D] proud, _ _ _ _ _ [C] was down in [F#] all to _ _ [F#m]
find _ _ _ _ [C] _ another _ _ [D] chance _ [G] of a life.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
Nothing _ [G] but a [C] child _ _ _ _ _ [G] could wash those [D] tears _ _ [Em] _
away, _ or [D] _ _ [C] _ _
guide a weary _ [D] _
world _ _ _ _ [C] into _ the [D] _ light [G] of day.
_ _ _ And _ [C] _
nothing _ [G] _ but a [C] child _ _ _ _ _ [G] could help [C#] erase _ those [Em] _
miles.
_ _ _ [D] _ [C] So once again _ _ [D] we all _ can be [C] _
children _ [D] _ for _ [G] a _ while. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Nothing _ but _ [D] _
a _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
child.
