1. A spaceman came travelling in his ship from afar,
CGFG
t`was light-years of time since his mission did start,
AmGFAm
and over a village he halted his craft,
CGFGFGAmGAm
and it hung in the sky like a star ---- just like a star.
AmCGAm
2. He followed a light and came down to a shed,
CGFG
where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
AmGFAm
a bright light of silver shone round his head,
CGFGFGAmGAm
and he had the face of an angel ---- and they were afraid.
AmCGAm
3. And the stranger spoke, he said : "Do not fear!"
CGFG
I come from a planet a long way from here,
AmGFAm
and I bring a message for mankind to hear,
CGFGFGAmGAm
and suddenly the sweetest music ---- filled the air.
FGAmGFAm - CGF - G - AmGFAm
and it went : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
C G F GF G a G Am
peace and goodwill to all men, ---- and love for the child.
FGAmGFAm - CGF - G - AmGFAm - CGFAm -GAm
And it went :" Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala."
AmCGAm
4. This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
CGFG
and many were waken on hearing that sound,
AmGFAm
and travellers on the road, the village they found,
CGFGFGAm
by the light of that star in the sky ---- which shone on now.
AmCGAm
5. And just before dawn, at the paling of the sky,
CGFG
the stranger returned and said :"Now I must fly.
AmGFAm
When two thousand years of your time have gone by,
CGFGFGAmGAm
this song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry!"
FGAmGFAm - CGF - G - AmGFAm
And it went : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
CGFGFGAmGAm
this song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry."
FGAmGFAm - CGF - G - AmGFAm
And it goes :"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
CGFGFGAm
peace and goodwill to all men, -----and love for the child.
FG
Oh, the whole world is waiting.
AmGFAm
Lalalala..... waiting to hear this song again,
CGF
spacemen are standing on the edge of the world,
GAmGFAm
and the star is glowing somewhere in eternity,
CGFGFGAm
This song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry."
