Good King Wenceslas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

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

[Verse 2]
Gath'ring winter fuel
[C]"Hither, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
"Sire, [G]he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain
Right against the forest fence

[Verse 3]
By Saint Agnes' fountain."
[G]"Bring me flesh and bring me wine
[C]Bring me pine- logs [G]hither
Thou and I shall see him dine
[C]When we bear them [G]thither."
Page and monarch, forth they went
[C]Forth they went to[G]gether
Through the rude wind's wild lament
And the [C]bitter weather.

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[C][G]
[C]

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

[Verse 5]
[C]
[G]In his master's step he trod
[C]Where the snow lay [G]dinted
Heat was in the very sod
[C]Which the Saint had [G]printed
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
[C]Wealth or rank pos[G]sessing
Ye, who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find [C]blessing.

[Outro 1]
[G]
