Good King Wenceslas Chords by The Irish Rovers

Good King Wenceslas looked out on the feastless demon,
When the snow lay [D] round [C] about, [D] deep and [G] crisp and even,
[Bm] Brightly shone the [G] moon at night, though [D] the [G] frost was cruel,
[D] When a [Em] poor man [Am] came in [G] sight, gathering winter [C] [G] fuel.

_ [C] Hither, [G] page and [D] stand by [C] me, [D] if thou [G] know'st its telling,
[C] Yonder [G] peasant, [D] who is he, where and what [G] his dwelling?
Sire, [D] he lives a good [Em] league [C] hence, [D] underneath [G] the mountain,
[D] Right against [Em] the [Am] forest [G] fence, by St.
[Em] Agnes' [C] [G] fountain.
[Am] _ [C] _ [D] _ [C] _ [D] _ [G] _
_ Bring me meat and bring [D] me wine, bring me [G] pine loves hither,
[C] Thou and [G] I will [D] see him dine, when we [G] bear him thither.
[D] Page and [B] monarch, [G] forth they went, forth they went together,
[D] Through the [Em] rude winds, [Am] wild amends, [G] and the [Em] bitter [C] _ [G] [Am] weather.
_ [D] _ [Em] _ [G] _ _
_ [C] Sire, the [G] night is [D] darker [C] now, [D] and the [G] wind blows stronger,
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer.
[Bm] Mark my footsteps, [G] my good page, tread thou in them boldly,
[D] Thou shalt [Em] find the [Am] winter's [G] rage, freeze thy [Em] blood less [C] _ [G] [C] coldly.

[C] _ [G] _ _ _ In his master's steps [D] he trod, where the snow [G] lay dinted,
Heat [D] was in [G] the very sod, which the same had printed.
[Bm] Therefore, Christian men, [G] be sure, wealth [D] or rank [G] possessing,
Ye [D] who now [Em] will bless [Am] the poor, [G] shall yourselves find [C] [G] blessing.
