VERSE:
6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 -5 5 -4 5 -5 5
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar
7 7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Twas lightyears of time since his mission did start
7 7 -8 7 -7 (-6) 6 6 -6 6 -5 5
And over a vi-ill-age, he halted his craft
5 5 5 -5 5 -4 5 -4 -4 4
And it hung in the sky like a sta-ar
4 4 -4 5
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
-6 -6 -7
And it went...
CHORUS:
7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 6 -6
La la la la la la la la la la
7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6
La la la la la la la
7 -8 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -6 6 -6
La la la la la la la la la la
5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4
Peace and goodwill to a-a-all men
-6 7 -8 (-8) 8
And love for th’child
