The First Noel Chords
English Traditional 1833
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_First_Noel
G D C G
The first Noel, the angel did say
C Bm C D G
Was to certain poor shepherds, in fields as they lay:
G D C G
In fields where they lay, a keeping their sheep
C Bm C D G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
G D C G
They looked up and saw a star
C Bm C D G
Shining in the east beyond them far:
G D C G
And to the earth it gave great light
C Bm C D G
And so it continued both day and night.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
G D C G
And by the light of that same star
C Bm C D G
Three wise men came from the country far;
G D C G
To seek for a King was their intent,
C Bm C D G
And to follow the star wherever it went.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
G D C G
This star drew nigh to the north-west;
C Bm C D G
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest,
G D C G
And there it did both stop and stay,
C Bm C D G
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
G D C G
Then entered in those wise men three,
C Bm C D G
Fell reverently upon their knee,
G D C G
And offered there in his presence
C Bm C D G
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
G D C G
Then let us all with one accord
C Bm C D G
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
G D C G
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
C Bm C D G
And with his blood mankind has bought.
G Bm C G D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C Bm C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
