[Intro]
A E A D
Say friends wherever you are tonight, in the snows of New England or up in the Northwest,
A E D A A
or on warm tropical beaches of Florida coast, I hope you’re getting into the spirit of this Christmas day.
A E D A A
I don’t mean sitting back in your easy chair us having all the fun. Throw back your head, open up your heart.
A E D A D
and singing as loud or as pretty as you know how. Gang singing is a lot more fun then you’ll ever know
A E A D
unless you give it a whirl. So come on now, join me in the First Noel. If you don’t know the words well,
A E A D
hum a little, tap your feet or gee whiz, do something! You ready?”
[Chorus 1]
A D E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
C#m D A A A
Born is the king of Bethlehem

The first Noel The angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay

In fields where they Lay a keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night That was so deep
[Chorus 2]
A D E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
A E D A
Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 2]
C C Cma7 C C
They looked up And saw a star
Dm7 E F C
Shining in the east Beyond them far
G C Cma7 C C
And to the earth It gave great light
Dm7 E Fm
And so it continued Both day and night
[Chorus 3]

Born is the King of Israel
[Verse 3]
C C Cma7 C C
This by the light Of that same star
Dm7 E Fm C
Three wise men came From country far
G C Cma7 C C
To seek for a King Was their intent
Dm7 E Fm
And to follow the star Wherever it went
[Chorus 4]
A D E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
A E D A
Born is the King of Israel
