Am C G Am
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
C G F F G
'twas light years of time since his mission did start,
Am Em F Am
and over a village he halted his craft,
C G F F G Am
and it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
Am C G Am
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
C G F F G
where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
Am Em F Am
a bright light of silver shone round his head,
C G F F G Am
and he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid
Am C G Am
Then the stranger spoke, and he said "Do not fear,
C G F F G
I come from a planet a long way from here,
Am Em F Am
and I bring a message for mankind to hear",
C G F F G Am
and suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
F G Am Em F Am
And it went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am Em F Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G Am
peace and good will to all men, and love for the child
F G Am Em F Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am Em F Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G Am
oh, oh, oh
Am C G Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
C G F F G
and many were wakened on hearing that sound,
Am Em F Am
and travellers on the road, a village they found,
C G F F G Am
by the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all 'round
Am C G Am
and just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
C G F F G
the stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
Am Em F Am
when two thousand years of your time has gone by,
C G F F G Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"
F G Am Em F Am
And it went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am Em F Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry
F G Am Em F Am
And it goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am Em F Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C G F F G Am
peace and good will to all men, and love for the child
F G
Oh the whole world is waiting,
Am Em F Am
la, la, la la waiting to hear that song again,
C G F F G
la there are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
Am Em F Am
la and a star is moving somewhere, and the time is nearly here,
C G F F G Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry
