Verse:
DmFCDm
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
FCA#A#C
ʼtwas light years of time since his mission did start
DmAmA#Dm
And over a village he halted his craft,
FCA#A#CDm
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.
DmFCDm
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
FCA#A#C
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
DmAmA#Dm
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
FCA#A#CDm
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
DmFCDm
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
FCA#A#C
I come from a planet a long way from here,
DmAmA#Dm
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
FCA#A#CDm
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.
Chorus:
A#CDmAmA#Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
DmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#CDm
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
A#CDmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
DmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#
oh, oh, oh.
Verse:
DmFCDm
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
FCA#A#C
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
DmAmA#Dm
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
FCA#A#CDm
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.
DmFCDm
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
FCA#A#C
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
DmAmA#Dm
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
FCA#A#CDm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
Chorus:
A#CDmAmA#Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
DmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#CDm
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
A#CDmAmA#Dm
And I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
DmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#CDm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
A#CDmAmA#Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
DmAmA#Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
FCA#A#CDm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
