Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]A frosty
Christ[C]mas [G]Eve
When the [C]stars [G]were shining
[Em]I travelled forth alone
Where [C]westward falls the [D]hill
And from [C]many, many a village
[D]In [C]the darkness of the valley[D]
Distant [G]mu [C]sic [G]reached me
Peals of [C]bells were [G]ringing[C]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Then [G]sped my thoughts to olden times
To that first of Christmases
When [Em]shepherds who were watching
Heard [C]music in [D]the fields
And they [C]sat there [D]and they marveled
And they [C]knew they could not [D]tell
Whether [G]it [C]were ang[G]els or the
[C]bright stars a- [G]singing[C]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
But [G]to me heard afar
It [C]was starry [G]mu sic
[Em]The singing of the angels
[C]The comfort of our [D]Lord
Words [C]of old that come [D]a travelling
by the [C]riches of [D]the times
And I [G]softly listened as [C]I stood upon [G]the hill
And I softly listened as
[C]I stood upon the [G]hill

[Outro 1]
[C][G][D]
