Intro-
C#m7 A2 F#m A2
Verse 1-
  C#m7
I wonder if you've heard the story

Of little fame and lesser glory
    A2
The night the keeper of the inn

The little town of Bethlehem
  F#m
Encountered Joseph and his Mary
A2                                    C#m7
About to birth the Savior of the world
Verse 2-
    C#m7
His wife said go and see who's knocking
                   G#m
He ran down to the gate unlocked it
    A2
The moment he heard Mary's cry

He couldn't look them in the eye
F#m
Denied them and went back to bed
         A2
When his wife asked who was there
       C#m7         B
He said I don't know
Chorus-
       E
Just a girl
                                      A2
Just a couple gypsies knocking at the door
                                    F#m
Told them we don't have room for anymore
               A2
And closed the door
              E
It was just a girl
Verse 3-
   C#m7
He tried to sleep and wasn't able

He snuck out to the dirty stable
    A2
The two had found for covering

And later in her suffering
    F#m
The keeper knelt outside the barn
    A2
And in the light of that great star
   C#m7                    B
He prayed what have I done
Chorus-
            E
He's just a babe
                                        A2
Just minutes old there trembling in the hay
                                      F#m
I could have found a room for them to stay
       A2
I'm so ashamed
            E
He's just a babe
Bridge-
      A2
There was no robe
E
There was no crown
       F#m             C#m7
The shepherds stood on royal ground
    A2                 C#m7
The keeper wept for what he'd done
    F#m                   A2
He turned away God's own Son
Chorus-
       E
Just a King
                                     A2
Just a million angels crowding in to see
                     F#m
Jesus there among humanity
       E
Just a babe
                                        A2
Just minutes old there trembling in the hay
                             F#m
Staring at his mother in the face
             A2
She's just a girl
       E
Just a girl
                                             A2
Does she even know that she just changed the world
                                         E
Does she even know that He will save the world
                                     A2
Does Mary know that He will save the world
             E
She's just a girl
       A2
Just a girl
       E
Just a girl
