[C] Towards the light [G] years of time [F] since his mission did start
[G] [Am] And over [Em] a village [F] he halted his [Am] craft [C] And he'd hung in the [G] sky like [F] a star

on a bed [G] A [Am] bright light [Em] of silver [F] shone round [Am] his head
[C] And he had the [G] face [F] of an angel And they [G] were [Am] afraid

[C] By the light of [G] that ship in the [F] sky, which shone [G] all [Am] around.

The [C] stranger returned [G] and said, [F] now I must [G] fly.
