Words by Noël Regney, music by Gloria Shayne Baker
Released on Christmas in the Heart (2009)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Tabbed in A major (original key Bb major)
The thing after the ‘Do you see …’ lines is in principle something like A E D A/e, but very thinly orchestrated, consisting mostly of the figures
A E D A/e
: . . . : . . . : . . .
|---------5-------| |-5---4---2---0---| |-5---4---5---0---|
|-----5-------5---| |-----------------| |-----5---7---5---|
|-2---------------| and |-----------------| ending |-2------(7)------|
|-----------------| |-----------------| up like: |-----------------|
|-----------------| |-----------------| |-0---------------|
|-----------------| |-----------------| |-------------0---|
which is neither very playable on a single guitar, nor very interesting. More useful is probably something like:
A E D A/e : . . . |-5---4---2---0---| |-5---5---3---2---| |-6---4---2---2---| |-7-----------2---| |-7-----------0---| |-5-----------0---|

Said the night wind to the little lamb:
A Em A
Do you see what I see?
A Em A Em
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
A Em A
Do you see what I see?
F#m
A star, a star,
C#m
Dancing in the night,
D E C#7 F#m
With a tail as big as a kite,
D E A
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy: Do you hear what I hear? Ringing through the sky, shepard boy, Do you hear what I hear? A song, a song, High above the trees, With a voice as big as the sea, With a voice as big as the sea.
Said the shepard boy to the mighty king: Do you know what I know? In your palace wall, mighty king, Do you know what I know? A child, a child, Shivers in the cold. Let us bring him silver and gold, Let us bring him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere: Listen to what I say. Pray for peace people everywhere. Listen to what I say. The child, the child, Sleeping in the night, He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light.
