Do You Hear What I Hear?
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
: . . . : . . . : . . . |---------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:
: . . . |-5---4---2---0---| |-5---5---3---2---| |-6---4---2---2---| |-7-----------2---| |-7-----------0---| |-5-----------0---|
Said the [A]night wind to the [Em]little [A]lamb:[Em]
[A]Do you see what I [Em]see?[A]
[A]Way up in the sky, [Em]little [A]lamb,[Em]
[A]Do you see what I [Em]see?[A]
A [F#m]star, a star,
[C#m]Dancing in the night,
With a [D]tail as [E]big as a [C#7]kite,[F#m]
With a [D]tail as [E]big as a [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.
