O [G]tidings [C]of [B7]comfort and [Em]joy
From [Em]God our [B7]heav'nly [Em]Father,
a [Em]blessed [C]angel [B7]came;
And [Em]unto [B7]certain [Em]shepherds

In [Em]Bethlehem, [B7]in [Em]Israel,
this [Em]blessed [C]Babe was [B7]born,
and [Em]laid with-[B7]in a [Em]manger
u-[Em]pon this [C]blessed [B7]morn;
The [Am]which His Mother [B7]Mar-y

each [Em]other [B7]now em-[Em]brace;
this [Am]holy tide of [B7]Christmas
doth [Em]bring redeeming [D]grace.

It's very spread out lengthwise, so it's hard to play and read (you have to adjust the page often). Plus, the chorus words and chords are listed only once (towards the top) which makes a smooth-played song pretty much impossible until you memorize it.
