{t:The Friendly Beasts}
{c:capo 2}
-[G] Jesus our saviour [D] kind and [G] good
+Was [G] humbly [C]born in a [D]stable of [G]wood
+And the [G] friendly [C] beasts a[D]round Him [Bm] stood
-[G] Jesus our saviour [D] kind and [G] good

[G]"I" said the donkey [D]shaggy and [G]brown
"I [G]carried His [C]mother up [D]hill and [G]down
I [G]carried her [C]safely to [D]Bethlehem [Bm]town"
[G]"I" said the donkey [D]shaggy and [G]brown

[G]"I" said the cow all [D]white and [G]red
"I [G]gave Him my [C]manger [D]for a [G]bed
I [G]gave Him my [C]hay for to [D]pillow His [Bm]head
[G]"I" said the cow all [D]white and [G]red

[G]"I" said the sheep with the [D]curly [G]horn
"I [G]gave Him my [C]blanket [D]for a [G]warm
And [G]he wore my [C]coat on that [D]Christmas [Bm]morn
[G]"I" said the sheep with the [D]curly [G]horn

[G]"I" said the dove from the [D]rafters [G]high
"I [G]cooed Him to [C]sleep so He [D]would not [G]cry
We [G]cooed Him to [C]sleep my [D]mate and [Bm]I
[G]"I" said the dove from the [D]rafters [G]high

[G]"I" said the camel all [D]yellow and [G]black
"Over [G]the [C]desert [D]upon my [G]back
I [G]brought Him a [C]gift in the [D]wise men's [Bm]pack
[G]"I" said the camel all [D]yellow and [G]black

[G]Thus every beast [D]remembering it [G]well
In the [G]stable [C]dark was [D]so proud to [G]tell
Of [G]the gifts they [C]gave [D]Emmanu[Bm]el
[G]the gifts they gave [D]Emmanu[G]el
