THE ANGELS CRIED

NOTES: capo fret 3

Intro = D  C  G  A  D  C  G  A               (Tab below)


Verse 1:
    D                A          
They came from near, they came from far,
Bm          A                G             
Following a distant star to where He lay, 
    D                      A
Not being sure of what it meant, but 
Bm                     A
Knowing it was heaven sent,
     G 
They made their way,


Chorus:
        Em
And the creatures gathered 'round 
    G
And didn't make a sound,
        D  C   G 
And the angels cried.


Verse 2:
  D             A
The angels knew what was to come,
Bm             A                G
The reason God had sent His son from up above
D                 A
It filled their hearts with joy to see, and                
Bm             A
Knowing of His destiny, 
G
Came tears of love.

Chorus

Repeat intro 


Verse 3:
   D               A
I've often thought about that night 
Bm              A                  G
And wondered if they realized that star so bright
D                A
Was sent to tell all the land 
Bm                   A                
The Son of God would soon become
G
The son of man
