VERSE 1:
A [D#m] spaceman came [F#] travelling on his [C#] ship from a [D#m] far
'twas [F#] light years of [C#] time since his [B] mission did start [C#]
And [D#m] over a [A#m] village he [B] halted his [D#m] craft
And it [F#] hung in the [C#] sky like a [B] star, just like [C#] a [D#m] star
VERSE 2:
He [D#m] followed a [F#] light and came [C#] down to a [D#m] shed
Where a [F#] mother and a [C#] child were lying [B] there on a bed [C#]
A [D#m] bright light of [A#m] silver [B] shone round his [D#m] head
And [F#] he had the [C#] face of an [B] angel, and they [C#] were a-[D#m]-fraid
VERSE 3:
Then the [D#m] stranger [F#] spoke, he said [C#] "Do not [D#m] fear
I [F#] come from a [C#] planet a [B] long way from here [C#]
And [D#m] I bring a [A#m] message for [B] mankind to [D#m] hear"
And [F#] suddenly the [C#] sweetest [B] music filled [C#] the [D#m] air
CHORUS 1:
And [B] it [C#] went [D#m] la-la-la, [A#m] la-la-la, [B] la-la-la, [D#m] la [F#] la-la-la, [C#] la-la-la, [B] la [B][C#] [D#m] la-la-la, [A#m] la-la-la, [B] la-la-la, [D#m] la [F#] Peace and good [C#] will to all [B] men, and love [C#] for the [D#m] child
VERSE 4:
This [D#m] lovely [F#] music went [C#] trembling through the [D#m] ground
And [F#] many were [C#] wakened on [B] hearing that [B] sound [C#]
And [D#m] travellers on the [A#m] road, the [B] village they [D#m] found
By the [F#] light of that [C#] ship in the [B] sky which [B] shone [C#] all a-[D#m]-round
VERSE 5:
And [D#m] just before [F#] dawn at the [C#] paling of the [D#m] sky
The [F#] stranger re-[C#]-turned and said [B] "Now I must fly [C#]
When [D#m] two thousand [A#m] years of your [B] time has gone [D#m] by
This [F#] song will be [C#] gin once a [B] gain, to a ba-[C#]-by's [D#m] cry"
