and closed the door

it was just a girl
verse 3 –
C#m7
he tried to sleep and wasn’t able

he snuck out to the dirty stable

and later in her suffering

the keeper knelt outside the barn
A2
and in the light of that great star
C#m7 B
he prayed what have i done
chorus –
E
he’s just a babe

just minutes old there trembling in the hay

he’s just a babe

just minutes old there trembling in the hay
F#m
staring at his mother in the face
