[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A 
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.


[Verse 1]
      D                                  A                D
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
  D                                 E            A    A7
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.


[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.


[Verse 2]
    D                                  A             D
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth,
     D                         E                    A
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth.


[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.


[Verse 3]
     D                     A                 D
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
    D                               E                 A
And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn!


[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.


[Verse 4]
  D                     A                  D
I was a lonely seeker I saw both night and day;
    D                               E                 A
And I asked the Lord to help me and he showed me the way!


[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.


[Verse 5]
   D                     A           D
He made me a watchman up on the city wall;
    D                     E               A
And if I am a Christian I am the least of all!


[Chorus]
D                           A                  D A  G  A
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
D                                      A7       D
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
