Bethlehem Town chords by Jars Of Clay

Verse:
                            Am/E
Oh, Mary, Joseph, rest your eyes
                        Em11
Try not to think of the ending
                             Am/E
World full of empty, He will die
                  D/F#         Em11
But tonight He is still just a child

                             Am/E
The silent night drifts all away
                            Em9
And the angels are dancing around you
                                     G5
There's the joy of knowing He'll save the world
    C5add9       G5/B            Am
Overshadowing the pain that He'll go through

Chorus:
          C5add9
   Have you cursed at the wind
          G5/B
   Have you cried to the heavens
          Am7              D/F#      G5
   Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand
          C5add9
   When the wise men kneel down
      G5/B                            Amadd9/E  E  Am
   To kiss the hand of this king they found
      Ebdim7   Em9
   In Bethlehem town


Verse:
                            Am/E
Will you hold back the years a while
                                     Em9
Will you dream that this man could always be a child
                        G5
And never carry all the weight
       C5add9       G5/B            Am
Of the dirt and the distance and the company we keep


Pre-Chorus:
C  F#m7  B7

Bridge:
               C                A7/C#         D
      And did the stars shine much brighter that night
             C            A7/C#            D           Ebdim7
      You gave birth to the death that would bring us to life
               Em9               G7
      And did the mystery keep you awake
            C            G/B          A
      Was the sound of His little heart too much to take


          C5add9
   When the wise men kneel down
      G5/B                            Amadd9/E E Am Ebdim7
   To kiss the hand of this king they found

   Have you fought with this mercy you don't understand
          C5add9
   When the wise men kneel down
      G5/B                            Amadd9/E  E  Am
