[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
Good King Wenceslas last looked out
A      B        E
On the feast of Stephen
E
When the snow lay round about
A        B         E
Deep and crisp and even
E
Brightly shown the moon that night
A          B         E
Though the frost was cruel
                        F#m
When a poor man came in sight
E                A   E   B
Gathering winter fuel...
[Verse]
 E
"Hither, page, and stand by me
A       B         E
If thou knowst it telling
E
Yonder peasant, who is he?
A         B        E
Where and what his dwelling?"
 E
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
A    B         E
Underneath the mountain
                         F#m
Right against the forest fence
E              A   E     B
By Saint Agnes fountain"
[Verse]
 E
"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine
A        B         E
Bring me pine logs hither
E
Thou and I will see him dine
A       B        E
When we bear the river"
E
Page and monarch, forth they went
A          B      E
Forth they went together
                               F#m
Through the rude wind's wild lament
E              A  E    Am D G
And the bitter weather
[Verse]
 G
"Sire, the night is darker now
C       D          G
And the wind blows stronger
G
Fails my heart, I know not how
C     D     G
I can go no longer"
 G
"Hark my footsteps my good page
C          D       G
Tread thou in them boldly
                             Am
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
G                     C   G    D
Freeze thy blood less coldly"
[Verse]
G
In his master's step he trod
C         D        G
Where the snow lay dented
G
Heat was in the very sod
C         D         G
Where the saint had printed
G
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
C         D       G
Wealth or rank possessing
                          Am
Ye who now will bless the poor
G                     C   G
Shall yourselves find blessing
