VERSE 1:
A [Dm] spaceman came [F] travelling on his [C] ship from a [Dm] far
'twas [F] light years of [C] time since his [Bb] mission did start [C]
And [Dm] over a [Am] village he [Bb] halted his [Dm] craft
And it [F] hung in the [C] sky like a [Bb] star, just like [C] a [Dm] star
VERSE 2:
He [Dm] followed a [F] light and came [C] down to a [Dm] shed
Where a [F] mother and a [C] child were lying [Bb] there on a bed [C]
A [Dm] bright light of [Am] silver [Bb] shone round his [Dm] head
And [F] he had the [C] face of an [Bb] angel, and they [C] were a-[Dm]-fraid
VERSE 3:
Then the [Dm] stranger [F] spoke, he said [C] "Do not [Dm] fear
I [F] come from a [C] planet a [Bb] long way from here [C]
And [Dm] I bring a [Am] message for [Bb] mankind to [Dm] hear"
And [F] suddenly the [C] sweetest [Bb] music filled [C] the [Dm] air
CHORUS 1:
And [Bb] it [C] went [Dm] la-la-la, [Am] la-la-la, [Bb] la-la-la, [Dm] la [F] la-la-la, [C] la-la-la, [Bb] la [Bb][C] [Dm] la-la-la, [Am] la-la-la, [Bb] la-la-la, [Dm] la [F] Peace and good [C] will to all [Bb] men, and love [C] for the [Dm] child
VERSE 4:
This [Dm] lovely [F] music went [C] trembling through the [Dm] ground
And [F] many were [C] wakened on [Bb] hearing that [Bb] sound [C]
And [Dm] travellers on the [Am] road, the [Bb] village they [Dm] found
By the [F] light of that [C] ship in the [Bb] sky which [Bb] shone [C] all a-[Dm]-round
VERSE 5:
And [Dm] just before [F] dawn at the [C] paling of the [Dm] sky
The [F] stranger re-[C]-turned and said [Bb] "Now I must fly [C]
When [Dm] two thousand [Am] years of your [Bb] time has gone [Dm] by
This [F] song will be [C] gin once a [Bb] gain, to a ba-[C]-by's [Dm] cry"
