Christmas Must Be Tonight - The Band
(INTRO:)
G Em G Em G Em G Em
(1ST VERSE:)
G Am Am7
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
D G
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
Am Am7
Wheels start turning, torches start burning
D G
And the old wise men journey from the East
(CHORUS:)
Em Am D G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
Am7 D G Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
G Em
(2ND VERSE:)
G Am Am7
A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
D G
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
Am Am7
In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
D G
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
(CHORUS)
(3RD VERSE:)
I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high
CHORUS
(FINAL CHORUS:)
Em Am D G
How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
Am7 D G
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Am
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
Am7 D G Em
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
G Em
Be tonight
G Em
Be tonight
G Em
Be tonight
G Em
Be tonight
(FADE OUT)
From The Band's last album, Islands 1977, written by Robbie Robbertson after the birth of his son.
Starting from Harlan's chord scheme I made a few changes and added some information.
The accoustic guitar intro is quite simple, just listen to the Band's recording.
Have fun with this beautiful song.
