Good King Wenceslas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][C][G]
Good King Wenceslas
looked out
[C]On the [D]feast of [G]Stephen,
When the snow lay round about
[C]Deep and [D]crisp [G]and even
Brightly shone the moon that [Em]night
[C]Though the [D]frost was [G]cruel
When a poor man came in sight
Gathering winter [C]fuel[G]

[Verse 2]
Hither, page, [G]and stand by me
[C]If thou [D]knowst it [G]telling
Yonder peasant, who is he
[C]Where and [D]what his [G]dwelling
Sire, he lives a [Em]good league hence
[C]Under[D]neath the [G]mountain
Right against the forest fence
By Saint Agnes [C]foun[G]tain

[Verse 3]
Bring me flesh [G]and bring me wine
[C]Bring me [D]pine logs [G]hither
Thou and I will see him dine
[C]When we [D]bear them [G]thither
Page and monarch, [Em]forth they went
[C]Forth they [D]went to[G]gether
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the bit[C]ter [G]weather

[Verse 4]
Sire, the night [G]is darker now
And the wind blows stronger
Fails my heart, I know not how
I can go no longer
Mark my footsteps my good page
Tread thou in them boldly
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly
[C]In

[Verse 5]
[G]his master's steps he trod
[C]Where the [D]snow lay [G]dented
Heat was in the very sod
[C]Which the [D]saint had [G]printed
Therefore, Christian [Em]men, be sure
[C]Wealth or [D]rank pos[G]sessing
Ye who now will bless
the poor
Shall yourselves find [C]bless[G]ing

[Outro 1]
[G]
