[Verse 1]
C     G            Am     Am/C
I was young when I heard
C            G                 Am     Am/C
I opened the book and read the words 
C            G              Am           Am/C
Stories of a star up in the sky. Far off place,
       C          G         F      Am  
a Baby child born to be the light 
        F              C       G           Am   F     G
And the wise men came, and the angels sang Hallelujah 

[Chorus]
F       C  G    Am            F       
Cuz far away is born a little child
F     C G    Am           F
Far away the Savior of Mankind
F             C                 G
The Prince of Peace the King of Kings 
G         Am      
Born in a manger 
F                    G
Far away (Far away)

And when I’m old I’m hoping to
C          G                 Am     Am/C
Sit by the tree in my living room
C                 G              Am             Am/C          C
Tell stories of a star up in the sky. A far off place, a baby child 
               G      F          Am
And like the wise men I will ask 
     F          C         G            Am   F     G
What can I bring when the angels sing? Hallelujah
