[Verse 1]

The first No -el the angels did say
C G C G/B
Was to certain poor shepherds

In fields as they lay

In fields where they lay

Keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night

That was so deep

No-el, No-el, No -el, Noel!

Born is the Ki -ing of Isra-el!
[Verse 2]

They looked up and saw a star
C G C G/B D7 G D7 G
Shining in the East beyond them far
G Em D C G/B D7 G
And to the earth it gave great light
C G C G C D7 G D7 G
And so it conti-inued both day and night

C G C G/B D7 G D7 G
Three wise men came from country far

To seek for a King was their in-tent
C G C G C D7 G D7 G
And to follow the sta-ar wherever it went
D G Em D G/B C C G D7/F#
No-el, No-el, No -el, No-o-e- el!
