Chris de Burgh – A Spaceman Came Travelling (Guitar)

  Dm            F                 C             Dm
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,

Bb    F                C        Bb             
'twas light years of time since his mission did start

F   Dm        Am   Bb                 Dm
And over a village he halted his craft,

       F           C          Bb              C   Dm
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.

                 F             C       Dm
He followed a light and came down to a shed,

      F              C          Bb                 C
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, 

  Dm                 Am  Bb                   Dm
A bright light of silver shone round his head,

    F              C        Bb                  Dm
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.

                        F         C            Dm
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,

  F           C        Bb              C
I come from a planet a long way from here, 

    F            Am       Bb         Dm
And I bring a message for mankind to hear",

F            C          Bb  C          Dm
Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.

    F       Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 

F           C           Bb   C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

F             C              Bb       C             Dm
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.

C    Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
     La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 

F           C           Bb   C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

    C   Bb    Dm
Oh, oh, oh.

               F       C                     Dm
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,

    F         C          Bb                C
And many were wakened on hearing that sound, 

F          Dm         Am        Bb           Dm
And travellers on the road, the village they found,

       F             C           Bb             C      Dm
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.

                     F      C               Dm
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,

  F           C                Bb          
A stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, 

     Dm           Am            Bb            Dm
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,

     F           C          Bb                Dm 
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry".

    Bb      Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 

F           C           Bb     
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Dm          Am          Bb          Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

     F           C          Bb                Dm 
This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry".

       C    Dm          A   Am      Bb          Dm
And it goes La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 

F           C           Bb   C
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

Dm          A   Am      Bb          Dm
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,

F          C              Bb            C       Dm
Peace, goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.

                 B              C  Dm
Over the whole world is waiting together,

A   Am     Bb                          Dm
Waiting to hear, to hear the song again

F                     C         Bb                  C
Their lives are standing on the edge of the world

Dm              Am               Bb          Dm
And its started something at the time of the year,

  F         C         Bb               D    G   C   Bb
Song will begin once again to a baby's cry.
