WE THREE KINGS John Hopkins. publ.1857 We three kings of Orient are [Em B7 Em] Bearing gifts we traverse afar [Em B7 Em] Field and fountain, moor and mountain [Em D G] Following yonder star [Am Em B7 Em] O [D D7] star of wonder star of night [G C G] Star with royal beauty bright [G C G] Westward leading still proceeding [Em D C D] Guide us to thy perfect light [G C G] Born a king on Bethlehem plain. Gold I bring to crown him again. King forever ceasing never. Over us all to reign. Frankincense to offer have I. Incense owns a deity night. Prayer and praising, all men raising. Worship Him, God on high. Myrrh is mine; it's bitter perfume. Breathes a life of gathering gloom. Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in a stone cold tomb. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God, and sacrifice; Heaven sings Alleluia; Alleluia the earth replies.

[Em Bm] Haste, haste to bring Him laud, [Bm G D Bm] The Babe, the Son of Mary. [Em B7 Em] Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear for sinners here, The silent Word is pleasing. (repeat refrain) So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh; Come, peasant king, to own Him. The King of Kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C F Mary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little child. F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C F And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall; Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C F With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy. F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey, C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C F Love and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms He lay. Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C F Christian children all should be, mild, obedient, good as He. F C7 F C F Dm F Bb C F And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own redeeming love. C7 F G7 C7 F Dm F Bb C F For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above; Bb F Csus4 C F Bb F Bb C F And He leads His children on, to the place where he is gone. Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, We shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around. IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR C F C It came upon a midnight clear F D7 G7 That glorious song of old C F C >From angels bending near the earth F G7 C To touch their harps of gold E7 AM "Peace on the earth, good will to men G D7 G >From heaven's all gracious King;" C F C The world in solemn stillness lay, F G7 C To hear the angels sing Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing; And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. O ye, beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS F C7 F 1 On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me Bb F C F A partridge in a pear tree F C7 F 2 On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me 3 third day 4 fourth day C7 F Bb F C7 F 2 Two turtle doves and a Partridge in a pear tree 3 Three French Hens 4 Four calling birds (sing in reverse order) F C7 F 5 On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me G7 C7 Five golden rings 6 On the sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me 7 seventh . . . . 12 Twelfth F Bb C7 F 5-12 And a partridge in a pear tree F Bb C7 5-12 Four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle dove C7 F G7 C7 6 Six geese a laying five golden rings 7 Seven swans a swimming 8 eight maids a milking 9 nine ladies dancing 10 ten lords a leaping 11 eleven pipers piping 12 twelve drummers drumming (sing in reverse order ) ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE Brenda Lee key of Ab intro Ab Fm Db Eb Ab Eb verse1 Rocking around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop Eb Ab Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop Ab Eb Rocking around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring Eb Ab Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling Db Cm bridge You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Fm Bb Eb Voices singing let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly Ab Eb Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday Eb Ab Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way verse2 inst. bridge same same same Eb Eb Eb Eb Ab Db Ab Everyone dancing merrily in the new old - fa - shioned way finis Ab9 JINGLE BELL ROCK Bobby Helms key of D intro D DM7 D6 DM7 (DM7=Dmaj7) verse1 Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock D6 DM7 Em A Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring Em A Em A Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun E A+5 Now the jingle hop has begun D DM7 D6 DM7 Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock D6 DM7 Em A Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time Em A Em A Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square E A D D7 In the frosty air G Gm bridge1 What a bright time, it's the right time D To rock the night away E Jingle bell time is a swell time A To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh D DM7 D6 DM7 Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet D6 DM7 B Jingle around the clock G Gm Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet E A D That's the jingle bell rock verse2 Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock (repeat verse1's Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time last 4 lines) Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square In the frosty air bridge2 What a bright time, it's the right time To rock the night away Jingle bell time is a swell time To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet Jingle around the clock G Gm Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet E A That's the jingle bell E A That's the jingle bell E A D That's the jingle bell rock(may try to post guitar lick here too) GRAMMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER This arrangement combines the melody and some backup.
