G
the horse's hay beneath his head
C
our Lord was born to a manger bed
Am
that all whose wells run dry
C Am G
could drink of his supply
G
to keep him warm, the sheep drew near
C
so grateful for His coming here
Am
come with news of grace
C Am G
come to take my place
G
the donkey whispered in his ear
C
"child, in 30-some-odd years
Am
you'll ride someone who looks like me
C Am G
untriumphantly"
G
the cardinals warbled a joyful song
C
he'll make right what man made wrong
Am
bringing low the hills
C Am G
that the valleys might be filled
G
then "child", asked the birds
C
"well, aren't they lovely words we sing?"
Am
the tiny baby lay there
C Am G
without saying anything
G
at a distance stood a mangy goat
C
with the crooked teeth and a matted coat
Am
weary eyes and worn
C Am G
chipped and twisted horns
G
thinking "maybe I'll make friends someday
C
with the cows and the hens in the rambouillet
Am
but for now, I'll keep away
C Am G
I've got nothing smart to say"
G
there's a sign on the barn in the cabbage town
C
"when the rain picks up and the sun goes down
Am
sinners, come inside
C Am G
with no money, come and buy
G
no clever talk, nor a gift to bring
C
requires our lowly, lovely king
Am
come you, empty handed,
C Am G
you don't need anything"
G
and the night was cool and clear as glass
C
with the sneaking snake in the garden grass
Am
deep cried out to deep
C Am G
the disciples fast asleep
G
and the snake perked up when he heard You ask
C
"if you're willing that this cup might pass
Am
we could find our way back home
C Am G
maybe start a family all our own"
G
"but does not the Father guide the Son?
C
not my will, but yours be done.
Am
what else here to do?
C Am G
what else for me, but You?"
G
and the snake who'd held the world
C
a stick, a carrot and a string
Am
was crushed beneath the foot
C Am G
of your not wanting anything

I don't suppose anyone has a good strumming pattern for this, do they? Nothing's really working for me.
