[Intro]
Am Em F Am C G F (2x)
[Verse 1]
Am C G Am
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
C G 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 G Am
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star
[Verse 2]
C G Am
He followed a light and came down to a shed
C G 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 G Am
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid
[Verse 3]
C G Am
Then the stranger spoke, he said, "Do not fear
C G F G
I come from a planet a long way from here
C Em F
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
C G F G Am
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
[Chorus]
Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C G 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 G Am
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child
[Chorus]
Am Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C G 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 G Am
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child
[Verse 4]
C G Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
C G F G
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
Am Em F
And travellers on the road, the village they found
C G F G Am
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around
[Verse 5]
C G Am
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
C G F G
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly
Am Em F
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
C G F Am
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"
[Chorus]
Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C G 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 G Am
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child
[Chorus]
Am Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C G 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 G Am
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child
[Verse 6]
Am
Oh, the whole world is waiting together
Em F Am C
Waiting to hear the song again
G F G Am
We're standing on the edge of the world
Em F Am
And it's started something at the time of the year
C G F G Am
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry
[Outro]
