The first noel

KEY

             C#   G#        F#             C#

1. The first Noel the angels did say

              F#

Was to certain poor

C#                  G#                  C#

Shepherds in fields as they lay:

     C#                G#

In fields where they

        F#                    C#

Lay keeping their sheep

          F#                 C#

On a cold winter's night

        G#         C#

that was so deep.

   C#     G#     F#    C#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

F#               C#      G# C#

Born is the King of Israel.


              C#      G#          F#     C#

2. They looked up and saw a star

             F#      C#           G#         C#

Shining in the east beyond them far:

        C#       G#        F#               C#

And to the earth it gave great light

        F#       C#                G#          C#

And so it continued both day and night

    C#   G#       F#  C#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

F#               C#        G# C#

Born is the King of Israel.


            C#       G#        F#           C#

3. And by the light of that same star

          F#             C#

Three wise men came

               G#         C#

from the country far;

      C#             G#          F#     C#

To seek for a King was their intent,

             F#           C#            G#    C#

And to follow the star wherever it went.

    C#      G#  F#  C#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

F#               C#        G# C#

Born is the King of Israel.
