KEY C

 6    6    7   -6  -6b  6  -5b   6
The north wind is toss-ing the leaves.

 6   6    7  -6 -6b 6 -5b  6
The red dust is o-ver the town

 6   -6b  -7   7  -6 -6b  -6   7
The spar-rows are un-der the eaves

 6   6   -6b   6 -6b  6   5   -4   5
And the grass in the pad-dock is brown

 5 -5b  6   7  -6 -6b  6  -5b  6
As we lift up our voi-ces and sing

 6  6   -6b    -7    7   -6 -6b -6  7
To the Christ-child the hea-ven-ly King.

 6    5    4   -3  -5b  -6b  5    -4
The tree ferns in green gul-lies sway

 -4   4     5    -6   -5b -6b 6  -4
The cool stream flows si-lent-ly by

 6  -5b -6b   -5b  -4   -5   -5b  -6
The joy bells are greet-ing  the day

2+3 2+3   -3b  2+3 4  -6b  -4  5  -4 
And the chimes are a-drift in the sky

 5 -5b  6  7  -6  -6b  6  -5b  6
As we lift up our voi-ces and sing

6   6    -5b   -3b   -5  5  -5b -4  -5b    
To the Christ-child the hea-ven-ly King.
