[Dm] The spaceman [F] came traveling [C] on his ship [Dm] from afar.
It [F] was light [C] years of time [Bb] since his mission did [C] start.
[Dm] And over [Am] a village [Bb] he halted [Dm] his craft.
And [F] it hung in [C] the sky [Bb] like a star.
Just like [D] a [Dm] star.
He followed [F] a light and [C] came down [Dm] to a shed
[F] Where a [C] mother and child were [Bb] lying there on a bed.
[C] [Dm] A bright [Am] light of silver [Bb] shone round [Dm] his head.
[F] And he [C] had the face of [Bb] an angel.
[C] And they [Dm] were afraid.
Then the stranger [F] spoke.
[C] He said, Do not [Dm] fear.
[F] I come from [C] a planet [Bb] a long way from [C] here.
[Dm] Then I bring [Am] a message [Bb] for mankind to [Dm] hear.
[F] Suddenly [C] the sweetest [Bb] music filled [C] [Dm] the air.
[Bb] [F] And it [Dm] went down.

This lovely [F] music [C] went trembling [Dm] through the ground.

And many [C] were awakened [Bb] on hearing that [C] sound.
[Dm] And travelers on [Am] the road, [Bb] the village they [Dm]
found,
[Fm] By the light [C] of that ship [Bb] in the sky,
Would [Cm] shone [Dm] all around.
And just [F] before dawn, [C] at the paling [Dm] of the sky,
[F] A stranger [C] returned and [Bb] said, Now I must [C] fly.
[Dm] When two thousand [Am] years of [Bb] your time has [Dm] gone by,
[F] This song [C] will begin [Bb] once again.
To a [C] [Dm] baby's cry.
[Bb] And [C] it [Dm] went down.
