1. A spaceman came travelling in his ship from afar, 
           C              G              F                 G 
    t`was light-years of time since his mission did start, 
         Am      G          F          Am 
    and over a village he halted his craft, 
            C           G           F  G F          G  Am  G Am 
    and it hung in the sky like a star ---- just like a star. 
       Am          C              G         Am 
2. 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             G       F              Am 
    a bright light of silver shone round his head, 
         C          G          F     G F       G    Am    G Am 
    and he had the face of an angel ---- and they were afraid. 

              Am       C        G              Am 
3. And the stranger spoke, he said : "Do not fear!" 
       C            G       F                  G 
    I come from a planet a long way from here, 
        Am          G           F          Am 
    and I bring a message for mankind to hear, 
         C              G      F    G F     G     Am  G Am 
    and suddenly the sweetest music ---- filled the air. 
         F  G      Am  G  F  Am - C  G  F - G -  Am  G  F  Am 
    and it went : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala, 
      C            G           F   G F        G    A       G Am 
    peace and goodwill to all men, ---- and love for the child.  
        F  G     Am  G  F  Am - C  G  F - G -  Am  G  F  Am - C G F Am -G Am 
   And it went :" Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala." 
         Am      C           G                     Am 
4. This lovely music went trembling through the ground, 
         C         G        F            G 
    and many were waken on hearing that sound, 
          Am                G         F            Am 
    and travellers on the road, the village they found, 
            C              G          F   G F          G       Am 
    by the light of that star in the sky ---- which shone on now. 
        Am           C            G             Am 
5. And just before dawn, at the paling of the sky, 
          C        G                 F             G 
   the stranger returned and said :"Now I must fly. 
          Am            G             F             Am 
    When two thousand years of your time have gone by,                 
          C           G         F   G F         G Am   G Am 
    this song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry!" 
         F  G       Am  G  F  Am - C  G  F - G -  Am  G  F  Am 
    And it went : "Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala 
          C           G         F   G F          G  Am   G Am 
    this song will begin once again ----  to a baby`s cry."  
         F   G     Am  G  F  Am - C  G  F - G -  Am  G  F  Am 
    And it goes :"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala 
      C            G           F    G F            G        Am 
    peace and goodwill to all men, -----and love for the child. 
              F             G 
    Oh, the whole world is waiting. 
     Am   G         F                    Am  
    Lalalala..... waiting to hear this song again, 
 C                 G             F 
    spacemen are standing on the edge of the world, 
     G        Am              G             F   Am 
    and the star is glowing somewhere in eternity, 
          C           G         F    G F          G    Am 
    This song will begin once again ---- to a baby`s cry."
