Christmas Songs - The First Noel Chords

(verse 1)

G   C       Em      F         C
The first Noel  the angel did say
       F            C            G              C
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
G  C            Em        F             C
In fields where they  lay keeping their sheep,
     F             C          G      C
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
  C     Em    F     C    Am          Em   F  Dm  C/E   G   C
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King    of  Is-   ra- el.


(verse 2)
G   C       Em      F         C
And by the light of that same star,
      F             C    G       C
Three wise men came from country far;
G  C          Em       F       C
To seek for a King was their intent,
       F          C        G       C
And to follow the star wherever it went.
  C     Em    F     C    Am          Em   F  Dm  C/E   G   C
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King    of  Is-   ra- el.



(verse 3)
G    C         Em      F        C
This star drew nigh to the northwest,
     F            C    G   C
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
G   C            Em   F        C
And there it did both stop and stay,
F              C           G     C
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
  C     Em    F     C    Am          Em   F  Dm  C/E   G   C
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King    of  Is-   ra- el.



(verse 4)
G    C       Em       F        C
Then entered in those wise men three,
     F       C   G         C
Full rev'rently upon their knee,
G   C       Em       F      C
And offered there in His presence
      F         C          G      C
Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
  C     Em    F     C    Am          Em   F  Dm  C/E   G   C
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,  born is the King    of  Is-   ra- el.
