A Spaceman Came Travelling

       Am            C            
1. A spaceman came travelling in 
     G        Am
his ship from afar,
           C              G       
    t`was light-years of time 
       F                 G
since his mission did start,
         Am      G          F    
    and over a village he halted 
      Am
his craft,
            C           G         
    and it hung in the sky like a 
  F  GF          G  Am  G Am
star ---- just like a star.
       Am          C              
2. He followed a light and came 
G         Am
down to a shed,
             C           G        
    where a mother and child were 
        F         G
lying there on a bed,
        Am             G       F 
    a bright light of silver 
             Am
shone round his head,
         C          G          F 
    and he had the face of an 
    GF       G    Am    G Am
angel ---- and they were afraid.

              Am       C        G
3. And the stranger spoke, he 
              Am
said : "Do not fear!"
       C            G       F    
    I come from a planet a long 
              G
way from here,
        Am          G       
    and I bring a message for 
    F          Am
mankind to hear,

    and suddenly the sweetest 
   GF     G     Am  GAm
music ---- filled the air.
         F  G   
    and it went :

4. This lovely music went 
                  Am
trembling through the ground,
         C         G        F    
    and many were waken on 
        G
hearing that sound,
          Am                G     
    and travellers on the road, 
    F            Am
the village they found,
            C              G      
    by the light of that star in 
    F   GF          G       Am
the sky ---- which shone on now.

        Am           C        
5. And just before dawn, at the 
    G             Am
paling of the sky,
          C        G              
   the stranger returned and said 
   F             G
:"Now I must fly.
          Am            G         
    When two thousand years of 
    F             Am
your time have gone by,

    this song will begin once

again ---- to a baby`s cry!"
