Am G C F

[Am] [G] [F] [Am][C] [G] [F]

[Am] A spaceman came [C] travelling in his [G] ship from [Am] afar,

t`was [C] light-years of [G] time since his [F] mission did start,

[Am] and over a [G] village he [F] halted his [Am] craft, and it [C] hung

in the [G] sky like a [F] star ----[G] just like a [Am] star.

[Am] He followed a [C] light and came [G] down to a [Am] shed,

where a [C] mother and [G] child were lying [F] there on a bed,

[Am] a bright light of [G] silver shone [F] round his [Am] head,

and he [C] had the [G] face of an [F] angel ---- [G] and they were [Am] afraid.

[Am] And the stranger [C] spoke, he said : [G] "Do not [Am] fear!"

I [C] come from a [G] planet a [F] long way from here,

[Am] and I bring a [G] message for [F] man kind to [Am] hear,

and [C] suddenly the [G] sweetest [F] music ---- [G] filled the [Am]air.

and [F] it [G] went : [Am] "Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] lalala [G]lalala [F] la,

[Am] Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la

[C] peace and good [G] will to all [F] men, ---- and [G] love for the [Am] child.

and [F] it [G] went :

[Am] "Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] Lalala [G]lalala [F] la,

[Am] Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] La.... [G] La.... [F] La...

[Am] This lovely [G] music went [F] trembling through the [Am] ground,

and [C] many were [G] waken on [F] hearing that [Am] sound,

and [Am] travellers on the [G] road, the [F] village they [Am] found,

by the [C] light of that [G]star in the [F] sky ---- which [G] shone on [Am] all round

[Am] And just before [C] dawn, at the [G]paling of the [Am] sky,

the [C] stranger [G] returned and said :[F] "Now I must fly.

[Am] When two thousand [G] years of your [F] time have gone [Am] by,

this [C] song will [G] begin once [F] again ---- to a [G] baby`s [Am] cry!"

and [F] it [G] went : [Am] "Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] lalala [G]lalala [F] la,

[Am] Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la

[C] this song [G] will begin[F] once again, ---- to a [G] baby’s [Am] cry.

AND [F] IT [G] GOES : [Am] "Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] Lalala [G]lalala [F] la,

[Am] Lalala [G] lalala [F] lalala [Am] la [C] peace and good [G] will to all [F] men,

and [G] love for the [Am] child.
