Straw Against The Chill

Em Am D G C In a town of David, not so near to spring, C B7 Em At the heart of love, there came a lovely thing. Em Am D G C It was the time of Mary, the time of Caesar's reign. C B7 Em Nothing in our lives would ever be the same. Em Am D G C Was so long ago, we remember still: C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill. Em Am D G C A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill. C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill. Em Am D G C Stumbling in the darkness, it was her time for birth, C B7 Em Bearing in her womb, the King of all the earth. Em Am D G C Searching for some shelter, by a cruel decree, C B7 Em They found a kind of glory the mighty never see. Em Am D G C Was so long ago, we remember still: C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill. Em Am D G C A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill. C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill. Em Am D G C There within a stable, the baby drew a breath C B7 Em There began a life that put an end to death, Em Am D G C And all the frozen stillness, mighty voices heard: C B7 Em "He is here among you! Human is the Word!" Em Am D G C Was so long ago, we remember still: C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill. Em Am D G C A planet dancing slow, a tree upon a hill. C B7 Em Star upon the snow, straw against the chill.
