Intro.: |(Gm) |(Dm) |(Gm) |(C) |(F) |(Dm) |(Gm) |(C)
Well the news (F) spread through Jerusalem, tonight (Dm) a child is born
There are (Gm) shepherds fallin' to their knees, and an-(Bb)-gels blowin' horns (C)
But in their (F)golden halls, the Pharisees (Dm)scoffed and drank their wine
They said, "It's (Gm)only Hebrew prophesy, we don't (Bb)care
And besides, (C) He's just (Am) a kid, (Bb) (C) that's all He is (F)
(Dm)One more pebble in (C) the grav-(C#)el, one (Dm) more rumor in (G) the rabble
How can He be king? (C) He's just a kid" (F) |(Dm)(C)
Well in (F) no time, it seemed the world was (Dm) knockin' on His door
Performin' (Gm) miracles and wonders they had nev-(Bb)-er seen before (C)
Soon, the (F)Pharisees stopped laughin', the (Dm)silver sum was paid
And (Gm)near the end He knelt down in the (Bb)garden
And He prayed, (C) "I'm just (Am) a kid, (Bb) (C) that's all I am (F)
I'll need (Dm) Your strength to see (C) me through (C#)it, (Dm)if it is Your will (G) I'll do it
But how can I be king? (C) I'm just a kid" (F)
Now I think (Ab) about the (Bb)Baby (C) and the (F)Man at Christmas time
Of (Ab)mothers, sons and (Gm)fathers (C) and (F)children just like mine
About the (Ab)power in un-(Bb)selfishness, love (F) and sacrifice
The Gift (Ab) that we were (Eb)given and the price (C) (D)
And how the news (G) spread through Jerusalem, to-(Em)night a child is born
There are (Am) shepherds falling to their knees, and an-(C)-gels blowin' horns (D)
I wonder how (G) on Earth the Pharisees could (Em)scoff and drink their wine
And say, "He's (Am)only Hebrew prophesy, we don't (C)care
And besides, (D) He's (Bm)just a kid, (C) (D) that's all He is (G)
(Em)One more pebble in (D) the gra-(Eb)vel, one (Em) more rumor in (A) the rabble
And how can He be king? (D) He's just a kid" (G)
(Tag)
Oh, how (A) can He be king? (D) He's just a kid, (G) oh |(Em) |(Am)(D)|(G) -----
