(Tempo: Slow, deliberate / Key: G Major / Vibe: Introspective, warm, and slightly wistful. Use only acoustic guitar, gentle bass, and quiet vocals, maybe a simple shaker rhythm.) (Intro - Acoustic Guitar. Simple, sustained fingerpicking pattern. Very soft.) (G) (Cadd9) (Em) (D) (Verse 1 - Sung softly, with a reflective, slightly breathy tone.) (G) Said the night wind to the little lamb (Cadd9) Do you hear what I hear? (Em) (Do you hear what I hear?) (D) Ringing through the sky, little lamb (G) Do you hear what I hear? (Cadd9) (A song, a song, high above the trees) (D) With a voice as soft as me, little lamb (G) A voice as soft as me. (Verse 2) (G) Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy (Cadd9) Do you know what I know? (Em) (Do you know what I know?) (D) In the cold dark night, shepherd boy (G) Do you know what I know? (Cadd9) (A Child, a Child, shivers in the cold) (D) Let us bring Him warmth, shepherd boy (G) Let us bring Him warmth. (Instrumental Break - The shaker and soft bass join in. A harmonica or simple piano melody plays over the chords. Building a quiet, simple hope.) (Em) (Cadd9) (G) (D) (Verse 3) (G) Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king (Cadd9) Do you see what I see? (Em) (Do you see what I see?) (D) Flashes of the star, mighty king (G) Do you see what I see? (Cadd9) (A star, a star, dancing in the night) (D) With a tail as big as a kite, mighty king (G) With a tail as big as a kite. (Verse 4) (G) Said the mighty king to the people everywhere (Cadd9) Listen to what I say (Em) (Listen to what I say) (D) Pray for peace, people everywhere (G) Listen to what I say (Cadd9) (The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night) (D) He will bring us goodness and light, people everywhere (G) He will bring us light. (Outro - The melody slows down, the guitar picking becomes sparser, and the rhythm instruments drop out completely. The final line is just the gentle acoustic and vocal.) (Em) Pray for peace... (Cadd9) People everywhere... (G) He will bring us goodness and light... (D) Do you hear what I hear? (G)
