Composed by Paul Michael
Inspired from "The Magic Green Shirt" by Father David

Intro:
(G)-(D)-(C)
(G)-(D)-(C)
(G)-(D)-(C)

(G)He was sort of like an (Em)angel,
Very happy and con(G)tent,
And he (C)kept telling people the (D)truth,
Even when they (G)got upset.
Such a wise, young (Em)prophet,
He looked right through you with his (G)eyes,
And you (C)knew you had to be (D)true,
You couldn't tell a (G)lie.(D)-(C)-(G)

Chorus:
What a marvelous (G)child
From Kingdom (Am)come,
Like a messenger from (C)God,
(D)He couldn't lie to any(G)one.
What a marvelous (G)child
From Kingdom (Am)come,
Like a messenger from (C)God,
(D)He couldn't lie to any(G)one.

(D)-(C)-(G)And the thing that I (Em)noticed
Was this magic green (G)shirt,
And when he (C)put it on, he told the (D)truth,
Even when it (G)hurt.
But it solved all the (Em)problems,
When people told the (G)truth.
When every(C)one's being honest,
It's a(D)mazing what the truth can (G)do.

(D)-(C)-(G)

[Repeat chorus]

(D)-(C)-(G)I (C)said "What is (D)this?"
Some(G)one said to me,
(C)"It's twenty (D)one twenty (G)five A.D."
It (C)seemed like every(D)one was (G)being set free
From the (A)bondage of lying, to live honest(D)ly.

[Repeat chorus]

[Repeat first verse]
