Verse:
  Dm            F                 C             Dm
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
      F              C              A#              A#  C
ʼtwas light years of time since his mission did start
    Dm     Am         A#          Dm
And over a village he halted his craft,
       F           C          A#          A#    C Dm
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.

   Dm         F              C         Dm
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
        F          C                A#          A#  C
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
  Dm              Am     A#               Dm
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
       F       C          A#          A#    C    Dm
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.

         Dm          F      C            Dm
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
  F           C        A#             A#  C
I come from a planet a long way from here,
    Dm        Am          A#          Dm
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
    F            C        A#     A#      C   Dm
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.

Chorus:
    A#  C    Dm          Am          A#           Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F           C           A#     A#  C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Dm          Am          A#           Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F             C              A#        A#    C       Dm
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
A#  C    Dm          Am          A#           Dm
        La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F           C           A#     A#  C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Dm          Am          A#           Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F   C   A#
oh, oh, oh.

Verse:
     Dm     F          C                     Dm
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
    F         C          A#            A#    C
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
    Dm                Am        A#            Dm
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
       F             C           A#          A#     C   Dm
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.

    Dm          F           C             Dm
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
    F          C               A#           A#  C
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
     Dm           Am            A#             Dm
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
     F           C          A#         A# C   Dm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".

Chorus:
    A#  C    Dm          Am          A#           Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F           C           A#     A#  C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Dm          Am          A#           Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F             C              A#        A#    C       Dm
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
    A# C    Dm          Am          A#           Dm
And I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F           C           A#     A#  C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Dm          Am          A#           Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
     F           C          A#         A# C   Dm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
    A#  C    Dm          Am          A#           Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
F           C           A#     A#  C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Dm          Am          A#           Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
     F           C          A#         A# C   Dm
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
