 Hi Cowpie friends, here's my contribution for Christmas, this is an older 
 song written by A. L. Phipps, recorded in recent years by EmmyLou Harris.  
 I wrote the chords out for the keys of A and G. Merry Christmas.  Jeanie
 
 Beautiful Star of Bethlehem

 Beautiful Star of Bethlehem

                    A(G)                    B7(A7)     E(D)
 Giving the light to those who long have gone
                     A(G)                     A7(G7)
 Guiding the Wise Men on their way
                D(C)                    A(G) 
 Unto the place where Jesus lay

 Beautiful Star the hope of light
                      D(C)                         A(G)
 Guiding the pilgrims through the night
                A(G)                    B7(A7)    E(D) 
 Over the mountains 'til the break  of dawn
              A(G)                A7(G7)
 Into the light of perfect day
                   D(C)            A(G)
 It will give out a lovely ray
                A(G)              B7(A7)  E(D)   A,D,A (G,C,G)
 Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,     shine   on

 For the redeemed, the good and the blessed
                  A(G)                B7(A7)   A(G)
 Yonder in glory when the crown is won
              A(G)             A7(G7)
 Jesus is now that star divine
                       D(C)                 A(G)
 Brighter and brighter He will shine
                 A(G)             B7(A7)   E(D)  A,D,A(G,C,G)
 Beautiful Star of Bethlehem,       shine on
 (repeat chorus)
