It's [Em]snowing [D/F#]on this Chr[G]istmas [D]Eve
Think I'll [Em]beg another [C]bob or [Em]two
I'll [Am]huddle in this doorway here
'Til [Em]someone comes a[Bm]long
[Am]If the lamp lighter comes real soon
[Em]Maybe I'll go [C]home with [D]him
[G]Maybe I can find a [D/F#]place I can [G]call my [C]home [D]
[Em]Maybe I can find a [Am]home I can [Bm]call my [C]own

this [C]beautiful star up in the [D]sky. And when they were [C]going they all meeted
toge[D]ther and whe.., you have.., they [C]had to pass King Herod's place,[D] not that

Think I'll [Em]get one, [C]one fine [D]day
And [Em]ride in[D/F#]to the co[G]untry[D]side
And [Em]very [C]far a[Em]way
But [Am]now as the daylight disappears
I [Em]best find a place to [Bm]sleep
[Am]Think I'll slip into the bell-tower
In the [Em]church just [C]down the [D]street
[G]Maybe I can find a [D/F#]place I can [G]call my [C]home [D]
[Em]Maybe I can find a [Am]home I can [Bm]call my [C]own

coddin' them. [D]He wanted to kill him and [C]when they were going,[D] they stopped

And [Em]tuck him under[D/F#]neath my [G]jacket [D]so
We'll [Em]stay warm [C]through the [Em]night
And [Am]as we lie in the bell-tower high
And [Em]dream of days to [Bm]come
The [Am]bells o'er head will call the hours
Some [Em]day we will [C]find a [D]home
[G]Maybe I can find a [D/F#]place I can [G]call my [C]home [D]
[Em]Maybe I can find a [Am]home I can [Bm]call my [C]own [D]
