[Intro]
|  G|  C|  G|  C|  x2
[Verse 1]
Well, it Gcame to pass back in those days that CCaesar, he decreed
A Gcensus should be taken of the CRoman world, you Dsee
So Geveryone packed up and headed Cback to their home towns
So GJoseph up from Galilee to CBethlehem was bound
[Instrumental]
|   C|   G|   C|   G|   C|
[Verse 2]
So it Gcame to pass this man named Joe was Cwith his fiance
When her Gpregnancy began to show he Cplanned to go aDway
But it Gcame to pass that in a dream an Cangel of the Lord
Said, "GJoseph, don't you be afraid to Cmarry Mary, Dfor
The little Gbaby in her womb it is the CHoly Spirit's work
You Gmay have read the prophet said a Cvirgin would give Dbirth
[Verse 3]
So it Gcame to pass that Joseph was the Cnoblest of men
With a Gwoman on a donkey on their Cway to BethlDehem
And I Gwonder whether either was aCware enough that day
To know the Gchild would bring a Kingdom
And the Cold would come to Dpass aGway
[Instrumental]
|   C|   G|  C|
[Outro]
Yes, it Gcame to pass that Joseph was Cthe noblest of men
GWith a woman on a donkey on Ctheir way to BethleGhem
[Outro]
