The First Noel
------------------
D A G D
The first No-el, the angels did say
G A D (G) D
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
D A G D
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
G A D (G) D
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
D A* G D * optionally substitute F#m for A
No-el, No-el, No-el, No-el
G A D (G) D
Born is the King of Is - ra - el
D A G D
They looked up and saw a star
G A D (G) D
Shining in the east beyond them far
D A G D
And to the earth it gave great light
G A D (G) D
And so it continued both day and night
(Chorus)
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
-- Last chorus -->
D A Bm D
No-el, No-el, No-el, No-el

Born is the King of Is - ra - el
