Chords for The LaFontaines at the Glass City Opry - December 2008 - #1

_ _ _ _ Like I said, we have a special [A] treat right now for you.
_ I'd like to bring them on out here. _
They're called Sherry LaFontaine and Friends,
[F#]
including, accompanied by, some of the members of Highline Drive.
So, if you'll give [C#] them a big round of applause,
they're going to do [F] a couple of songs,
I think you're going to hear the real treat.
So, here they are, Sherry [C] LaFontaine and the rest of them. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] How y'all doing?
Good!
Woo!
I am enjoying, this is [F#] my first time to be here,
and I am so [F] enjoying this.
[B] It is so cool [A#] to have bluegrass up north.
Oh my goodness!
Woo! _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [D] So, what happened was, I work with tracks.
I know I'm not allowed [F#] to say that in this auditorium,
but I work [D] with soundtracks.
[C#] And my [F#] soundtrack didn't work tonight,
and there [A] just happened to be some [C#] musicians in the house.
_ So, we're going to do this, and this is just impromptu,
so we're going to have a lot of fun.
[Dm] We [A] just practiced in the back room a little bit, so.
[A] So, give my band a hand, [C#] Highline Drive. _

_ _ _ _ Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
When the [A] angel brought the news
Of the precious little [E] _ _
boy
Mary was the first one to carry the [Bm] gospel
And [A] the news brought [B] joy, sweet _ _ [B] joy
_ _ The [E] shepherds watched their flocks by night
And Mary [B] fell asleep
_ [E] Another lonely quiet night
Watching all those sheep
Then [A] a choir from the holy heaven
Rehearsed the night with songs of joy
_ [F#] Good news that would ring for Christ the King
[B] Is Mary's baby boy
_ _ [E] Mary [Bm] was the [B] first one to carry the gospel
When the [A] angel brought the news
Of that [E] precious little _ boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And [A] that news brought [B] joy, sweet [E] _ _
joy
_ _ [B] _ Hosanna [E] to the highest
_ Antichrist his only _
[D] son
[E] The baby wrapped in so violent clothes
The [Em] meek and _ lowly one
[A] This baby boy would change the hearts
Of all who had _ believed
[F#] What the [E] prophets told had come to pass
A virgin had conceived
_ _ Mary was the [Bm] first one [E] to carry the gospel
When [A] the angel brought the news
Of that precious [B] little boy
_ Mary was the first one [E] to carry the gospel
And [A] that news brought [B] joy, sweet joy
_ _ _ _ _ _ Mary was the first [Bm] one to _ carry the gospel
[E] When the [A] angel brought the news
Of that precious little [E] _ _
boy
Mary was the first one to carry the gospel
And that [A] _ news [B] brought joy, [Bm] sweet joy
_ _ _ And [A] that news brought _ [B] _ joy, _ _ _ _ sweet _ _ [G] joy
