once in royal david’s city
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
stood a lonely cattle shed ,
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
where a mother held her baby .
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
you’d do well to remember the things he later said .

C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
when you’re stuffing yourselves at the christmas parties ,
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
you’ll just laugh when i tell you to take a running jump .
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
you’re missing the point i’m sure does not need making
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
that christmas spirit is not what you drink .

C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
so how can you laugh when your own mother’s hungry ,
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
and how can you smile when the reasons for smiling are wrong?
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
and if i just messed up your thoughtless pleasures ,
C G D Am Asus2 Asus4 Am
remember , if you wish , this is just a christmas song .

hey , santa , pass us that bottle over there , will you?
