Am  Em  F  Am  C  G  F   (2x)

[Verse 1]
  Am            C                 G          Am
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
      C              G              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               G Am
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star


[Verse 2]
              C              G         Am
He followed a light and came down to a shed
        C          G                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               G     Am
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid


[Verse 3]
                  C              G        Am
Then the stranger spoke, he said, "Do not fear
  C           G        F                  G
I come from a planet a long way from here
    C         Em          F          
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
    C            G        F     G          Am
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air


[Chorus]
                        Em          F          Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C           G           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        G          Am 
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child


[Chorus]
            Am          Em          F           Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C           G           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        G          Am 
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child


[Verse 4]
            C          G                     Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
    C         G          F                  G
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
    Am                Em        F           
And travellers on the road, the village they found
       C             G           F                G    Am
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around


[Verse 5]
                C           G             Am
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
    C          G                F              G
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly
     Am           Em            F         
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
     C           G         F                 Am 
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"


[Chorus]
                        Em          F          Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C           G           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        G          Am 
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child


[Chorus]
            Am          Em          F           Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La
C           G           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        G          Am 
Peace and goodwill to all men, and love for a child
 

[Verse 6]
                       Am
Oh, the whole world is waiting together
Em         F              Am    C
Waiting to hear the song again
      G               F                 G Am
We're standing on the edge of the world
         Em                       F           Am
And it's started something at the time of the year
     C           G         F           G    Am
This song will begin once again to a baby's cry


[Outro]
Am  Em  F  Am  C  G  F
G Am  Em  F  Am  C  G  F    G Am
