In The Bleak Midwinter
CAPO 3rd fret (or whichever fits your voice)
 
 
[Intro]
C    Am    Dm  G  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C               Am      Dm               G
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
C                   Am    Dm    G       C
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Dm                Am            C       Dm      G
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,
C               Am      Dm G  C
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                       Am        Dm          G
Our God, Heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
C                       Am        Dm      G        C
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
Dm              Am        C      Dm       G
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
     C          Am     Dm G   C
The Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
 
 
[Verse 3]
C              Am     D7                G
Angels and Archangels may have gathered there,
C            Am       Dm   G       C
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
Dm             Am    C      Dm     G
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
C               Am    Dm   G C
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
 
 
[Verse 4]
C          Am        Dm        G
What can I give him, poor as I am?
C           Am        Dm       G      C
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
Dm           Am       C       Dm    G
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
C                Am        Dm   G  C
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.

[tab]This part is wrong coming into the end of the phrase: Dm Am C F G Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow, C Am F G In the bleak midwinter, long ago. It should be: Dm Am C F G Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow, C Am F G C In the bleak midwinter, long ago.[/tab]
