Misc Christmas – The First Nowell (Guitar)

    C                F         C
The first Nowell the Angel did say

       F            C
Was to certian poor Shepherds

             G7   C
In fields as they lay.

   C                     F             C
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

F                  C              G7  C
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.

     C             F     C
They looked up and saw a star

        F      C            G7   C
Shining in the East, beyond them far,

    C               F          C
And to the earth it gave great light,

    F        C                G7  C
And so it continued, both day and night.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.

C                   F         C
And by the light of that same Star

      F        C              G7  C
Three Wise Men came from country far,

   C                   F        C
To seek for a King was their intent,

       F          C             G7  C
And to follow the Star wherever it went.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.

     C                 F         C
This Star drew nigh to the North West;

     F     C            G7   C
O'er Bethlehem it took it's rest.

    C                 F        C
And there it did both stop and stay,

      F        C             G7   C
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.

     C                F        C
Then enter'd in those Wise Men three,

     F      C           G7  C
Full reverently upon their knee,

     C                F   C
And offer'd there, in his presence,

      F         C            G7    C
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.

     C               F       C
Then let us all with one accord

     F       C           G7   C
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;

     C                    F        C
That hath made heaven and earth of naught,

    F         C              G7    C
And with his blood mankind hath bought.

    C       Em      F       C
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell.

F           C       G7   C
Born is the King of Israel.
