The Magic of a Christmas Pageant
© Mitch Townley / Scott Miller

G C
There’s a (C) freckled face shepherd, with a bathrobe on
A (G) crooked halo angel, telling him “fear not”
(C) Herd of kids who don’t wanna be sheep
(G) Wise men coming in wrong time, wrong scene
Mary’s (D) two feet taller than (C) Joseph is
Never (D) know when a growth spurt’s (C) gonna (D) hit

(chorus)
But there’s (G) joy and there’s (G7) hope
on a (C) not so silent (Cm) night
Thirty (A7) hard to find minutes of peace on earth
Every (D) smile like a (D7) string of lights
The (G) message of a (G7) baby in the hay,
(C) Taking (Cm) center stage
That’s the (A7) magic of (C) a Christmas (G) Pageant

Star (C) number 3’s parents are in the front row
It’s (G) been a long while since they’ve sat so close
A (C) dad rushes in just as it begins
His (G) little angel shines cause he made it
It’s not (D) opening night with a (C) Broadway cast
But you (D) can’t convince Miss (C) Kabinski of (D) that

Repeat Chorus

Bridge Em D C D
It’s (Em) amazing how your spirit (D) starts changing
By the (C) time you get to the (D) standing ovation

Repeat Chorus
