 INtro -  D - A/C# - Bm - A - G 
 
 
 (verse 1)
 D   A/C#       Bm       A         G            A         G-A   D     
 He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night,
      A/C#     Bm      A          G
 He knelt by her as she gave birth,
                        Esus-E                    G
 But it wasn't his child,  it wasn't his child,
 
 
 (verse 2)
  D   A/C#    Bm         A       G            A         G      A    D
 Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow,
     A/C#         Bm       A            G
 It brought him joy,  he loved that boy,
                        Esus-E                     G. - A - Bm
 But it wasn't his child,  it wasn't his child,
 
 
 (chorus)
 Bm          F#m              G                             Bm - A
 But like a father he was strong and kind and good,
 G          D                   Asus4- A
 And I believe he did his best,
 Bm        F#m                   G                 Bm
 It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could,
 G                  D                      Asus4- A
 His son was different from the rest,
      Bm          G                        Esus-E - G
 It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child,
 
 
 (verse 3)
 D     A/C#     Bm     A         G            A         G-A       D
 And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand,
 D     A/C#     Bm              A    G
 And soon the world would all  know why,
                  Esus-E                     G - A - Bm
 It wasn't his child,  it wasn't his child,
 
 
 (chorus)
 Bm             F#m                  G                          Bm -A
 And like his Father, He was strong and kind and good,
 G          D                   Asus4- A              
 And I believe he did his best,
 Bm        F#m                   G                 Bm
 It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could,
        Bm                    A              G 
 He grew up with his hands in wood,
           Bm             A            G  
 And he died with his hands in wood,
                        Bm   A                       Esus-E - G
 He was God's child,   He was God's child,
 
 
 (ending verse)
 D   A/C#     Bm          A         G            A         G-A   D     
 He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night,
      A/C#     Bm      A          G
 He knelt by her as she gave birth,
                        Esus-E                       G - A - Bm
 But it wasn't his child,  he was God's child,
