The First Noel
Key: D

    D2      DM7/F#  GM7       DM7/F#
The first Noel the  angel did say
       GM7          DM7/F#       Em7       A7   DM7
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
   D2           DM7/F#   GM7           DM7/F#
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
     GM7           DM7/F#     Em7  A7  DM7
On a cold winter's night that was  so  deep.

chorus:
  D2    DM7/F#  GM7   Bm7  A7
Noel, noel,   noel, noe -  l,
GM7         DM7/F#  Em7  A7  DM7
Born is the King of Is - ra- el.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
(chorus)

And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
(chorus)

This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
(chorus)

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

chorus:
Noel, noel, noel, noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
(chorus)

And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
(chorus)

This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
(chorus)
