Do You Hear What I Hear Gian Carlo Menotti (b. 1911)
from; "Amahl and the Night Visitors" an opera in one act, 1951
Said the [C]night wind [G]to the little [C]lamb
"[C]Do you see what I see?"
Way [F]up in the sky, little [C]lamb,
"[C]Do you see what I see?"
A [Am]star, a star, [Em]dancing in the night
With a [F]tail as [G]big as a [Am]kite
With a [F]tail as [G7]big as a [C]kite
. . . .
Said the [C]little lamb [F]to the shepherd [C]boy,
"[C]Do you hear what I hear?"
Ringing [F]through the sky, shepherd [C]boy,
"[C]Do you hear what I hear?"
A [Am]song, a song, [Em]high above the trees
With a [F]voice as [G]big as the [Am]sea
With a [F]voice as [G7]big as the [C]sea
. . . .
Said the [C]shepherd boy [G]to the mighty [C]king,
"[C]Do you know what I know?"
In your [G]palace warm, mighty [C]king,
"[C]Do you know what I know?"
A [Am]Child, a Child [Em]shivers in the cold
Let us [F]bring Him [G]silver and [Em]gold
Let us [F]bring Him [G7]silver and [G]gold
. . . .
Said the [C]king to the [G]people ev'ry-[C]where,
"[C]Listen to what I say!"
Pray for [G]peace, people every-[C]where,
"[C]Listen to what I say!"
The [Am]Child, the Child, [Em]sleeping in the night
He will [F]bring us [G]goodness and [Am]light
He will [F]bring us [G7]goodness and [C]light
A [6m]star, a star, [3m]dancing in the night
With a [4]tail as [5]big as a [3]kite
With a [4]tail as [57]big as a [1]kite
