The first Noel the angels did say
        F           C            G7              C
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
    C            G        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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
 F          C      G7   C
Born is the King of Israel!

      C     G      F     C
They looked up and saw a star
        F      C      G7        C
Shining in the east beyond them far
     C      G        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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
 F          C      G7   C
Born is the King of Israel!

    C        G        F        C
And by the light of that same star
      F         C         G7     C
Three Wise men came from country far
     C         G         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
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
 F          C      G7   C
Born is the King of Israel!

         D               A         G            D
Then the star drew them all onwards to the northwest
        G        D                A7        D
O'er a stable in Bethlehem and it took its rest
    D      A        G          D
So entered in those Wise men three
          G          D         A7          D
And when seeing the baby fell upon their knees

  D   F#m    G     D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
 G           D      A7  D
Born is the King of Israel!

  D   F#m    G     D
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
 G           D      A7  D
Born is the King of Israel!
 G           D      A7  D
Born is the King of Israel!
