[Verse 1]
AmCGAm A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
CGFFG 'twas light years of time since his mission did start
AmEmFAm And over a village he halted his craft,
CGFFG Am And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.
 [Verse 2]
AmCGAm He followed a light and came down to a shed,
CGFFG Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
AmEmFAm A bright light of silver shone round his head,
CGFFGAm And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
 [Verse 3]
AmCGAm Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
CGFFG I come from a planet a long way from here,
AmEmFAm And I bring a message for mankind to hear",
CGFFGAm And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.
 [Chorus]
FGAmEmFAm And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFG La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
AmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFGAm Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
FGAmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFG La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
AmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGF oh, oh, oh.
 [Verse 4]
AmCGAm This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
CGFFG And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
AmEmFAm And travellers on the road, the village they found,
CGFFGAm By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.
 [Verse 5]
AmCGAm And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
CGFFG The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
AmEmFAm When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
CGFF GAm This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
 [Final Chorus]
FGAmEmFAm And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFG La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
AmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFGAm Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
F GAmEmFAm And I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFG La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
AmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFF GAm This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
FGAmEmFAm And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFFG La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
AmEmFAm La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
CGFF GAm
