A spaceman came traveling [G] on his ship [D] from afar
[F] T'was light [Em] years of time since [Bb] his mission did [C] start
[Dm] And over [Am] a village [Bb] he halted [Dm] his cry
[F] It hung in [Em] the sky like a [Bb] star, just like [Gm] a [D] star
[Dm]
He followed a light and [C] came down to a shed
[F] Where a mother [C] and child were lying [Bb]
there on a bed
[C] A [Dm] bright light of [A] silver [Dm] shone round his head
He had the face [Bb] of an angel
And they were [Dm] afraid
And the stranger spoke, [C] he said, do [Dm] not fear
[F] I come [C] from a planet a [Bb] long way from here
[Dm] And I bring a [A] message for [Bb] mankind [D] to hear
[F] And suddenly [C] the sweetest [Bb] music filled [Dm] the air
[Gm] And it went
[A] [E]
[Em] [Bb]
[A] La la la [Bb] la la la
[A] Be [C] sweet but well to [Bb] all men
[E] Love all child
[Dm] This lovely [F] music went [C] trembling through [Dm] the ground
[F] And many were [C] awakened [Bb] on hearing that sound
[Dm] And travelers [Am] on the road the [Dm] village they found
[F] By the [C] light of that ship in [Bb] the sky
It [E] shone all around
[Dm]
And [E] just before the dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said now I [A] must fly
When two thousand years of [Dm] your time has gone by
[F] This song [C] will begin [Bb] once again
To a baby's [Dm] cry
[C] And it went
[Dm] La [Am] la [Bb]
[Em]
[Bb] [Dm] la [Am] la la
[A] la
Peace [C] and good will to [Bb] all men
And love for [Dm] all child
And we [G] [A] sing
La la la [D] la la la
Be sweet but well to all men
[E] This [Dm]
[F] song [C] will begin [Bb] once again
To a baby's [Dm] cry
And you [Dm] sing
