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
