CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of D)
C(type2) Asus4 Am (Am/B)(Am/C) Dm7 (Dm7/A) G7sus4 G7
In the bleak mid - win - ter, icy wind made moan,
C(type2) Asus4 Am (Am/B)(Am/C) Dm7 G7 C(type2)
Earth stood hard as ir------on, water like a stone,
Snow on snow had fal - len, snow on snow, on snow,
(maj7) b5
In the bleak mid - win - ter, long and long a - go!
Angels and arch - an - gels, may have gath - ered there,
Cherubim and Sera - phim, rising in the air,
Oh, but Ho - ly Ma - ry, in her maiden bliss,
(maj7) b5
Worshipped the Be - lov - ed, with a mother's kiss!

Heaven can - not hold him, nor can Earth sus - tain,
(maj7) b5
Heaven and Earth shall fall a - way, when He comes to reign!

What then can I give him? Empty--- as I--- am,
If I were a shep - herd, I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man, I would know my part,
(maj7) b5
What then can I give him? I must give my heart!
