Misc Christmas – In The Bleak Midwinter chords

This is a very simplified version of a Christmas classic.  It's not so much a 
strumming version.  I recommend trying to just randomly pick along the chords 
listed below until you find the groove that works for you.  

Good luck and enjoy!



In The Bleak Midwinter
CAPO 3rd fret (or whichever fits your voice)

*After the C chord after "water like a stone" I tab a transition chord of which I 
am  not sure of the name but it makes for a smooth yet pronounced change into the 
Dm and is as follows: X3231X

Intro: C, Am, F, G

C                Am       F             GIn the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,

C                   Am    F      G      CEarth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

Dm                Am            C       F       GSnow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,

C                Am      F    GIn the bleak midwinter, long ago.

C                       Am        F           GOur god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;

C                       Am        F        G       CHeaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.

Dm               Am        C     F        GIn the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

     C           Am      F     GThe lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.


C                Am    F                 GAngels and archangels may have gathered there,

C              Am        F   G     CCherubim and seraphim thronged the air;

Dm              Am    C       F      GBut his mother only, in her maiden bliss,

C               Am     F   G  CWorshiped the beloved with a kiss.

C           Am        F        GWhat can I give him, poor as I am?

C           Am        F         G      CIf I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;

Dm           Am       C       F      GIf I were a wise man, I would do my part;

C                 Am        F    G   CYet what I can I give him: give my heart.
