A [Am] spaceman came [C] travelling on his [G] ship from a-[Am]far
'Twas [C] light years of [G] time since his [F] mission did start [G]*
And [Am] over a [Em] village he [F] halted his [Am] craft
And it [C] hung in the [G] sky like a [F] star, just like [G]* a [Am] star
(Group sing, no ukes, gently)
He [Am] followed a [C] light and came [G] down to a [Am] shed
Where a [C] mother and [G] child were lying [F] there on a bed [G]*
A [Am] bright light of [Em] silver [F] shone round his [Am] head
And [C] he had the [G] face of an [F] angel, and they [G]* were a-[Am]fraid
(Group sing and play, gently)
Then the [Am] stranger [C] spoke, he [G] said "Do not [Am] fear
I [C] come from a [G] planet a [F] long way from here [G]*
And [Am] I bring a [Em] message for [F] mankind to [Am] hear"
And [C] suddenly the [G] sweetest [F] music filled [G]* the [Am] air
(Group sing and play, full volume)
And [F] it [G] went [Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [F] laaah ,[G]*
[Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] Peace and good-[G]will to all [F] men, and love [G]* for the [Am] child
[F]* [G]* [Am] La, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [F] laaah, [G]*
[Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] oh, [G] oh, [F] oh
(Group sing, no ukes, gently)
This [Am] lovely [C] music went [G] trembling through the [Am] ground
And [C] many were [G] wakened on [F] hearing that sound [G]*
And [Am] travellers on the [Em] road, the [F] village they [Am] found
By the [C] light of that [G] ship in the [F] sky which shone [G]* all a-[Am]round
(Group sing and play, gently)
And [Am] just before [C] dawn at the [G] paling of the [Am] sky
The [C] stranger re-[G]turned and said [F] "Now I must fly [G]*
When [Am] two thousand [Em] years of your [F] time has gone [Am] by
This [C] song will be-[G]gin once a-[F]gain, to a ba-[G]*by's [Am] cry"
(Group sing and play, full volume)
And [F] it [G] went [Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [F] laaah ,[G]*
[Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] Peace and good-[G]will to all [F] men, and love [G]* for the [Am] child
And [F] I [G] hear [Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
[C] la, la, la, [G] la, la, la, [F] laaah [G]*
[Am] la, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, [F] la, la, la, [Am] la
This [C] song will be-[G]gin once a-[F]gain, to a ba-[G]*by's [Am] cry
