1  I  wonder  as  I  wan -der   out  under the   sky
2  When Mary birthed Je - sus, ‘twas in a  cows' stall,
3  If  Jesus   had   want-ed    for  any   wee   thing:
4  I  wonder  as  I  wan -der   out  under the   sky,

1  How   Jesus, the  Sav-ior,  did come for   to  die.
2  With  wisemen and far-mers  and shep-herds and all
3  A     star in the sky, or   a   bird on    the wing;
4  How   Jesus, the  Sav-ior   did come for   to  die

   (Em)                Am7 Am6/7 Am7  C      C/b5  C    D9
1  For  poor,  ornery  peo-ple   like you    and   like I
2  But high from God's hea-ven   a    star's light did  fall,
3  Or  all  of  God's  an -gels  in   heaven       to   sing,
4  For  poor,  ornery  peo-ple   like you   and    like I

   Bsus4   Em                Am7 Am9        CM7 Bsus4/b6 Am9 Em
1  I       wonder   as   I   wan-der,  out  un - der     the sky.
2  And the promise    of     a - ges   it   then did     re -call.
3  He      surely could have had it, ‘cause He   was     the King!
   Bsus4   Em                Am7 Am9        CM7 Bsus4/b6 Am9 Emsus2
4  I       wonder   as   I   wan-der,  out  un - der     the sky.

(I don't know if all the chord names are right, but the voicings work. 
 Something like Am6/7 might be Am6sus7 or Am7sus6. I have no idea.)

If you need to simplify, drop some of the chords for the 
passing tones --G5, Am6/7, C/b5, Bsus4, etc.?
