The First Noel

INTRO: G  Em7  C  G  C  G  C  ~  ~  G

          Em7       C         G
The First Noel, the angel did say
       C            G             C      ~  ~    G
Was to certain poor shepherds, in fields as they lay
   G            Em7       C             G
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep
     C             G          C ~ ~  G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep


CHORUS:
  Em7   G     C     G
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C           G       C ~  ~ G  Em7
Born is the king of I-is-rael


   G           Em7    C     G
As they looked up and saw a star
        C      G      C ~  ~    G
Shining in the East beyond them far
    G      Em7      C          G
And to the earth it gave great light
    C        G           C ~ ~   G
And so it continued both day and night


CHORUS:
  Em7   G     C     G
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C           G       C ~  ~ G  Em7
Born is the king of I-is-rael


    G      Em7      C         G
And by the light of that same star
      C        G         C ~ ~  G
Three wise men came from planet far
       G          Em7      C       G
And to seek for a king was their intent
       C          G        C ~  ~  G
And to follow the star wherever it went


CHORUS:
  Em7   G     C     G
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C           G       C ~  ~ G
Born is the king of I-is-rael


CHORUS:
  Em7   G     C     G
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C           G       C ~  ~ G
Born is the king of I-is-rael
