Standard tuning.

       D      Ddim    G              D        A7       D
    Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
     D        D7       G                   D      A7       D
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
    D                              F#    G           F#
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
        D         Ddim     G                 D      A7     D
    The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.


        D         Ddim    G         D        A7   D
    For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
          D       D7        G                 D        A7        D
    While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
       D             F#           G              F#
    Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
        D       Ddim    G                 D        A7     D
    And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.


       D      Ddim    G              D        A7       D
    Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
     D        D7       G                   D      A7       D
    Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
    D                              F#    G           F#
    Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
        D         Ddim     G                 D      A7     D
    The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
