[Verse]
Eb Eb
Good King Wenceslas looked out
Ab Bb Eb
on the feast of Stephen,
Eb Eb
when the snow lay round about,
Ab Bb Eb
deep and crisp and even.
Eb Eb
Brightly shown the moon that night,
Ab Bb Eb
though the frost was cruel,
Gm Cm
when a poor man came in sight,
Bb Ab Eb
gathering winter fu - el.
[Verse]
Eb Eb
Hither, page, and stand by me.
Ab Bb Eb
If thou know'st it telling:
Eb Eb
yonder peasant, who is he?
Ab Bb Eb
Where and what his dwelling?
Eb Eb
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Ab Bb Eb
under - neath the mountain,
Gm Cm
right against the forest fence
Bb Ab Eb
by Saint Agnes' foun - tain.
[Chorus]
F F
Bring me flesh and bring me wine
Bb C F
Bring me pine logs hither
F F
Thou and I shall see him dine
Bb C F
When we bear them thither
F F
Page and monarch fother they went
Bb C F
Forth they went to - gether
Am Dm
Through the rude wind's wild lament
C Bb C
and the bitter wea - ther
[Bridge]

Ooo
[Verse]
F F
Sire, the night is darker now
Bb C F
and the wind blows stronger
F F
Fails my heart I know not how
Bb C F
I can go no longer
F F
Mark my footsteps good my page
Bb C F
Tread now in them boldly
Am Dm
Though shall find the winter's rage
C Bb C
Freeze my blood less cold - ly
[Chorus]
G G
In his master's steps he trod
C D G
where the snow lay dinted
G G
Heat was in the very sod
C D G
which the saint had printed
G G
Therefore Christian men be sure
C D G
wealth or rank pos - sessing
Em Gm D
Ye who now will bless the poor
D Am G D C G
shall your - selves find bles - sing
