[Verso 1]

  Am                     C         Dm 
I wonder as I wander out under the sky 
    Am                    Dm7         Am 
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die 
                              C            Em 
For poor ord'n'ry people like you and like I 
  Am             Em      Am        Dm 
I wonder as I wander out under the sky 


[Verso 2]

     Am                        C          Dm 
When Mary birthed Jesus, 'twas in a cow's stall 
     Am                       Dm7           Am 
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all 
                             C                Em 
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall 
        Am         Em      Am         Dm 
And the promise of ages it did then recall 


[Verso 3]

   Am                   C       Dm 
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing 
  Am                    Dm7         Am 
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing 
                          C             Em 
Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing 
   Am           Em              Am         Dm 
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King
