Sorry I didn't see this thread a couple weeks ago...

Andy Gullahorn and his wife Jill Phillips are the folks that do that song in AP's show...

Andy is tuned to Open C (CGCGCE) capo 2....It is a really simple song once you get used to that tuning. AP also has a song book out for it. Here are the chords...the little lick is on the fourth string.

Labor of Love
Key: D Meter: 4/4


D G
It was not a silent night
Dsus D
There was blood on the ground
D G
You could hear a woman cry
A
In the alleyways that night
Dsus D
On the streets of David's town

Bm
And the stable was not clean
F#m
And the cobblestones were cold
G
And little Mary full of grace
A
With the tears upon her face
Dsus D
Had no mother's hand to hold

D D/E D/F# G A
It was a labor of pain
Bm7
It was a cold sky above
D G
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
A
With every beat of her beautiful heart
Dsus D
It was a labor of love

D G
Noble Joseph at her side
Dsus D
Callused hands and weary eyes
D G
There were no midwives to be found
A
In the streets of David's town
Dsus D
In the middle of the night








Bm
So he held her and he prayed
F#m
Shafts of moonlight on his face
G
But the baby in her womb
A
He was the maker of the moon
D
He was the Author of the faith
D/F# A Asus A
That could make the mountains move


Instrumental:

G Dsus D
G A Bm


D D/E D/F# G A
It was a labor of pain
Bm7
It was a cold sky above
D G
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
A
With every beat of her beautiful heart
Bm D
It was a labor of love
G
Little Mary full of grace
A
With the tears upon her face

It was a labor of love

D G Dsus D
D G Dsus D
