[Verse 1]
    G       D
The first Noel
    C          G
The angels did say
       C
Was to certain poor
G/B          C         D    G
Shepherds in fields as they lay:
   G            D
In fields where they
    C             G
Lay keeping their sheep
     C             G/B        C   D  G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 2]
     G      D
They looked up
    C     G
And saw a star
        C      G/B     C    D    G
Shining in the east beyond them far:
    G      D
And to the earth
   C          G
It gave great light
    C         G/B          C  D    G
And so it continued both day and night.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 3]
    G         D
And by the light
    C        G
Of that same star
      C        G/B           C   D    G
Three wise men came from the country far;
   G          D
To seek for a King
    C       G
Was their intent,
       C          G/B       C   D    G
And to follow the star wherever it went.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 4]
     G    D
This star drew nigh
    C        G
To the north-west;
     C     G/B     C    D  G
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
    G        D
And there it did
     C        G
Both stop and stay,
      C        G/B         C D  G
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 5]
     G       D
Then entered in
      C        G
Those wise men three,
     C      G/B  C    D     G
Fell reverently upon their knee,
    G       D
And offered there
       C  G
In his presence
      C        G/B       C   D    G
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

[Verse 6]
     G      D
Then let us all
     C   G
With one accord
     C       G/B      C   D    G
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord,
     G    D
That hath made heav'n
    C        G
And earth of nought,
    C        G/B       C   D    G
And with his blood mankind has bought.

[Chorus]
  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.

  G    D    C    G
Noel Noel, Noel Noel
C           G/B     C D G
Born is the King of Israel.
