The first noel

KEY

             G#   D#        C#             G#

1. The first Noel the angels did say

              C#

Was to certain poor

G#                  D#                  G#

Shepherds in fields as they lay:

     G#                D#

In fields where they

        C#                    G#

Lay keeping their sheep

          C#                 G#

On a cold winter's night

        D#         G#

that was so deep.

   G#     D#     C#    G#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

C#               G#      D# G#

Born is the King of Israel.


              G#      D#          C#     G#

2. They looked up and saw a star

             C#      G#           D#         G#

Shining in the east beyond them far:

        G#       D#        C#               G#

And to the earth it gave great light

        C#       G#                D#          G#

And so it continued both day and night

    G#   D#       C#  G#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

C#               G#        D# G#

Born is the King of Israel.


            G#       D#        C#           G#

3. And by the light of that same star

          C#             G#

Three wise men came

               D#         G#

from the country far;

      G#             D#          C#     G#

To seek for a King was their intent,

             C#           G#            D#    G#

And to follow the star wherever it went.

    G#      D#  C#  G#

Noel Noel, Noel Noel

C#               G#        D# G#

Born is the King of Israel.
