G C G
The first Nowell the angel did say
C G Em D/F# G
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
C G
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep
C G Em D/F# G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
[Chorus]
C G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C G Em D/F# G C G C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el
[Verse]
G C G
They all looked up and saw a star
C G Em D/F# G
Shining in the east beyond them far
C G
And to the earth it gave great light
C G Em D/F# G
And so it continued both day and night
[Chorus]
C G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C G Em D/F# G C G C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el

[Verse]
G C G
And by the light of that same star
C G Em D/F# G
Three wise men came from country far
C G
To seek for a king was their intent
C G Em D/F# G
And to follow the star wheresoever it went
[Chorus]
C G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C G Em D/F# G C G C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el
[Verse]
G C G
The star drew nigh to the north-west
C G Em D/F# G
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
C G
And there it did both stop and stay
C G Em D/F# G
Right over the place where Je-sus lay
[Chorus]
C G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C G Em D/F# G C G C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el
