Verse 1
A [Am]spaceman came [C]travelling on his [G]ship from afar, [Am]
'twas [C]light years of [G]time since his [F]mission did [F]start, [G]
[Am]And over a [C]village he [G]halted his [Am]craft,
[C]And it [G]hung in the [F]sky like a [F]star,
just like [F]a [G]star. [Am]
Verse 2
He [Am]followed a [C]light and came [G]down to a [Am]shed,
Where a [C]mother and [G]child were lying [F]there on a [F]bed, [G]
[Am]A bright light of [C]silver [G]shone round his [Am]head,
And [C]he had the [G]face of an [F]angel, [F]
and they [F]were [G]afraid. [Am]
Verse 3
Then the [Am]stranger [C]spoke, he [G]said "Do not [Am]fear,
I [C]come from a [G]planet a [F]long way from [F]here, [G]
And [Am]I bring a [C]message for [G]mankind to [Am]hear",
And [C]suddenly the [G]sweetest [F]music, [F]
[F]filled [G]the [Am]air.

Verse 4
This [Am]lovely [C]music went [G]trembling through the [Am]ground,
And [C]many were [G]wakened on [F]hearing that [F]sound, [G]
And [Am]travelers on the [C]road, the [G]village they [Am]found,
By the [C]light of that [G]ship in the [F]sky, [F]
which [F]shone [G]all [Am]around.
Verse 5
And [Am]just before [C]dawn at the [G]paling of the [Am]sky,
The [C]stranger re [G]turned and said [F]"Now I must [F]fly, [G]
When [Am]two thousand [C]years of your [G]time has gone [Am]by,
This [C]song will [G]begin once [F]again, [F]
to a [F]baby's [G]cry". [Am]

and [F]love for [G]the [Am]child.
Oh the whole [F]world is [G]waiting,
[Am] [Em]waiting to [F]hear the song [Am]again,
[C]There are thousands [G]standing on the [F]edge of the [F]world, [G]
And a [Am]star is moving [Em]somewhere,
the [F]time is nearly [Am]here,
This [C]song will [G]begin once [F]again, [F]
to a [F]baby's [G]cry". [Am]
