Capo on 5th fret |
Intro: |
A spaceman came travelling |
On his ship from afar |
'twas light years of time |
Since his mission did start |
And over a village |
He halted his craft |
And it hung in the sky like a star |
Just like a star |
He followed a light |
And came down to a shed |
Where a mother and child |
Were lying there on a bed |
A bright light of silver shone |
round his head |
And he had the face of an angel |
And they were afraid |
Then the stranger spoke |
He said "Do not fear |
I come from a planet |
A long way from here |
And I bring a message |
For mankind to hear" |
And suddenly the sweetest music |
Filled the air |
And it went La, la, la, La, |
La, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, |
La, La, la, la, La |
Peace and goodwill to all of men |
And love for the child |
This lovely music went trembling |
Through the ground |
And many were wakened |
On hearing that sound |
And travellers on the road |
The village they found |
By the light of that ship |
In the sky, which shone all around |
And just before dawn |
At the paling of the sky |
The stranger returned and said |
"Now I must fly |
When two thousand years |
Of your time has gone by |
This song will begin once again |
To a baby's cry" |
And it went La, la, la, La, |
La, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, |
La, La, la, la, La |
Peace and goodwill to all of men |
And love for the child |
And I hear La, la, la, La, |
La, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, |
La, la, La, la, la, La |
This song will begin once again |
to a baby's cry" |
And it went La, la, la, La, la, |
La, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, la, La |
La, la, la, La, la, |
La, La, la, la, La |
This song will begin once again |
To a baby's cry" |
