Verse 1
======

  Dm            F                 C         Dm
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar 
       F              C              Bb                  C
't was light years of time since his mission did start. 
    Dm     Am         Bb         Dm
And over a village he halted his craft 
       F           C          Bb          Bb   C Dm
and it hung in the sky like a star - just like a star.

Verse 2
======

He followed a light and came down to a shed 
where mother and child were lying there on a bed. 
A bright light of silver shone round his head 
and he had the face of an angel. And they were afraid 

Verse 3
======
When the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear! 
I come from a planet a long way from here, 
and I bring a message for mankind to hear." 
Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

Verse 4
======
This lovely music went trembling through the ground 
and many were wakened on hearing the sound 
and travellers on the road the village the found 
which shone all around.

Verse 5
======

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky 
the stranger returned and said: "Now I must fly! 
When two thousand years of your time has gone by 
 ,this song will begin once again to a baby's cry!"

Chorus (s.a.)
