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

This lovely [F] music [C] went trembling [Dm] through the ground.
[F] And many were [C] awakened [Bb] on hearing that [C] sound.
[Dm] And travellers on [Am] the road, [Bb] the village they [Dm] found
[Fm] By the light [C] of that ship [Bb] in the sky, which [D] shone [Dm] all around
And just before [F] dawn, [C] at the paling [Dm] of the sky
[F] A stranger [C] returned and said, [Bb] now I must [C] fly
[Dm] When two [Am] thousand years [Bb] of your time has [Dm] gone by
[F] This song [C] will begin [Bb] once again, to a [C] baby's [Dm] cry
And [C] if [Dm] when the
