The First Noel Chords

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