      G   D/F#       Em       D         C                       D        G     
      He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night
      D/F#     Em      D          C
 He knelt by her as she gave birth
                        Asus-A                 C-D-G
 But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child
           D/F#    Em         D       C                                  D    G
      Yet he still took him as his own, and as he watched him grow
     D/F#         Em      D            C
 It brought him joy, he loved that boy
                        Asus-A                C... D-Em
 But it wasn't his child, it wasn't his child
 
                                 Bm               C
 Em
       Chorus: But like a father he was strong and kind and good
                      C          G                   Dsus- D
                      And I believe he did his best
                     Em        Bm                    C                 Em
                      It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could
                      C                G                      D 
                      His son was different from the rest
                                        C                        Asus-A.. C-D-G
                      It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child
 
            D/F#       Em     D         C                        D        G
      And when the boy became a man, he took his father's hand
 G     D/F#     Em            D           C
 And soon the world would all know why
                  Asus-A                 C-D-Em
 It wasn't his child, it wasn't his child
                                   Bm                   C
 Em
                  And like his Father, He was strong and kind and good
                  C          G                   Dsus-D                
                  And I believe he did his best
                 Em        Bm                    C                 Em
                  It wasn't easy for him, but he did all he could
                                               D              C 
                  He grew up with his hands in wood
                             Em             D            C  
                  And he died with his hands in wood
                                       Em-D                    Asus-A
                  He was God's child, He was God's child
 
      G    D/F#    Em          D         C                            D   G
       He was her man, she was his wife and late one winter night
      D/F#    Em      D            C       
 He knelt by her as she gave birth
                         Asus-A               C-D-G
 But it wasn't his child, it was God's child
