Chorus: 
           D 
There's a new kid in town 
         F#m7        G               D 
And he's lying in a manger down the road 
           D 
There's a new kid in town 
          F#m7         G        Bm            E  E7 
But he's just another baby I suppose, Heaven knows

D                                            G   D  A  
You say these gifts are for, the new king's pleasu--re 
Bm    A     G 
I've heard that a king might come 
Em7                         Asus  A 
But up til now there hasn't been one
