The first noel

KEY

             F#   C#        B               F#

1. The first Noel the angels did say

              B  

Was to certain poor

F#                  C#                  F#

Shepherds in fields as they lay:

     F#                C#

In fields where they

        B                      F#

Lay keeping their sheep

          B                   F#

On a cold winter's night

        C#         F#

that was so deep.

   F#     C#     B      F#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

B                 F#      C# F#

Born is the King of Israel.


              F#      C#          B       F#

2. They looked up and saw a star

             B        F#           C#         F#

Shining in the east beyond them far:

        F#       C#        B                 F#

And to the earth it gave great light

        B         F#                C#          F#

And so it continued both day and night

    F#   C#       B    F#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

B                 F#        C# F#

Born is the King of Israel.


            F#       C#        B             F#

3. And by the light of that same star

          B               F#

Three wise men came

               C#         F#

from the country far;

      F#             C#          B       F#

To seek for a King was their intent,

             B             F#            C#    F#

And to follow the star wherever it went.

    F#      C#  B    F#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

B                 F#        C# F#

Born is the King of Israel.
