Introdução:
G C D G G6 Em C D G
verse 1
All the streets are filled with laughter and light
C D
And the music of the season
G
And the merchants' windows are all bright
G6 Em
With the faces of the children
C G
And the families hurrying to their homes
C G
As the sky darkens and freezes
C G
We'll be gathering around their hearths and tables
Em D
Giving thanks for good graces
C D G
And the birth of the rebel Jesus
verse 1
C D
And they call him by the saviour
G
And they pray to him upon the seas
G6 Em
And in every bold endeavour
C G
And they fill his churches with their pride and gold
C G
As their faith in him increases
C G
But they've turned the nature that I worshipped in
Em D
From a temple to a robber's den
C D G
In the words of the rebel Jesus
verse 3
C D
And we guard our fine possessions
G
And once a year when Christmas comes
G6 Em
We give to our relations
C G
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
C G
If the generosity should seize us
C G
But if any one of us should interfere
Em D
In the business of why there are poor
C D G
They get the same as the rebel Jesus
verse 4
C D
To take the tone of judgment
G
For I've no wish to come between
G6 Em
This day and your enjoyment
C G
In a life of hardship and of earthly toil
C G
There?s a need for anything that frees us
C
So I bid you pleasure
G
And I bid you cheer
Em D
From a Heathen and a Pagan
C D G
On the side of the rebel Jesus
