 CHRISTMAS MUST BE TONIGHT- The Band
 G  Em  G  Em
                     G                      Am
 Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
   C                     D                     G
 Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
                 G                     Am
 Wheels start turning, torches start burning
          C              D              G
 And the old wise men journey from the East
 
 CHORUS:
         Em         D              C             G
 How a little baby boy bring the people so much joy
             Am
 Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
                               D    G
 This must be Christmas, must be tonight
 
 A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
 Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing
 In a dream I heard a voice saying "fear not, come rejoice
 It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
 CHORUS
 
 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
 
 
 (from Islands, 1977)
