10 Herod was a nasty man ( Matthew 2. 3-8)
Em D Em
Herod was a nasty man, he was king of all the land,
D C B7
Heard the tale the wise men told, and his smiling eyes grew cold.
Em D Em
Herod was a nasty man, king of all the land
Em D Em
"We have come to see the king, we have come to worship him,
D C B7
May we see him, homage pay?Then we'll travel on our way,
Em D Em
We have come to see the child, King of all the land."
Em D Em
He was jealous; he was mean, turned a sickly shade of green,
D C B7
"Let my scribes and wisest men, Search the scrolls and tell me when,
Em D Em
will this king be born and where, I must search throughout the land!"
Em D Em
"See my Lord, 'tis written down, Bethlehem it is the town!"
D C B7
Turned he to the kings once more, by this time his head was sore,
Em D Em
Mind all filled with blood and gore, for the child king of the land.
Em D Em
"When you find him, let me know, I must journey, I must go.
D C B7
To gaze upon this new born king, give to him MY OFFERING,
Em D Em
Herod was a worried man, king of all the land.
