[Verse 1]
A [Am]spaceman came [C]traveling
on his [G]ship from a[Am]far
'Twas [C]light years of [G]time
since his [F]mission did start
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 a [Am]star
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 [G]bed
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 [Am]afraid
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 I b[Am]ring a messag[Em]e for mankin[F]d to hear[Am]
And [C]suddenly the [G]sweetest [F]music
Filled [G]the [Am]air
And [F]it [G]went

[Chorus 1]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]"La la la [G]la la la [F]la"[G]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]Peace and good[G]will to all [F]men
And love [G]for [Am]the child
[F]"La[G] la[Am] la la la [Em]la la la la[F] la"[Am]
[C]"La la la [G]la la la [F]la"[G]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]"Oh [G]oh [F]oh"

[Verse 2]
This [Am]lovely [C]music
went [G]trembling through the [Am]ground
And [C]many were a[G]wakened
on [F]hearing that [G]sound
And [Am]travelers 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
And [Am]just before the [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 two[Am] thousand year[Em]s
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
And [F]it [G]goes

[Chorus 2]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]"La la la [G]la la la [F]la"[G]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]Peace and good[G]will to all [F]men
And love [G]for [Am]the child
And [F]I h[G]ear
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
[C]"La la la [G]la la la [F]la"[G]
[Am]"La la la [Em]la la la la[F] la la la[Am]"
This [C]song will be[G]gin once a[F]gain
to a ba[G]by's [Am]cry
Oh, the whole [F]world is [G]waiting,
[Am]Wait[Em]ing to hear the [F]song again[Am]
[C]There are thousands sta[G]nding
on the [F]edge of the [G]world
[Am]And a star is moving somew[Em]here
the [F]time is nearly [Am]here
This [C]song will be[G]gin once a[F]gain
to a ba[G]by's
