[Verse 1]
The [G]first good joy that
Christmas brings, it is the [D]joy of [G]one,
To see the star of
Bethle[G]hem that [D]shone on
Mary's [G]son,
[D]That shone on
Mary's son, good friends,
that [G]shone on
Mary's son,
Come to see the star of
Beth[D]lehem that shone on
Mary's [G]side.
[E]O little town of
[D]Bethlehem, how [E]still we see [B]thee [E]lie
Above thy [A]deep and [F#m]dreamless sleep,
the [D]silent [E]stars go by,
[D]Yet in [G]thy [D]dark streets shineth
[G]the ever[E]lasting [F#m]light.
The [G]hopes [E]and fears of all[A] the yea[D]rs
are [E]met in [B]thee [E]to [A]night.[E][B][E]
[D]The [G]next, the joy that
Christmas brings,
it [D]is the joy of [G]two.
[D]When car[G]ols ring on
Christmas
Day to [D]tell the tale [G]anew,
To [D]tell the tale anew, good friends,
to [G]tell the tale anew,
When carols ring on
Christmas
Day, to tell [D]the [Eb]tale anew.
[D]the halls with boughs of holly,
[Eb]Fa -la -la -la -la, fa [D]-la -la [Eb]-la,
Tis the [D]season to be [Eb]jolly,
[D]Fa -la -la -la -la, fa -la -la -la.
[A]Don we [Bb]now our [Eb]gay apparel,
Fa -la -la -la -la, [F]la -la [Bb]-la,
Draw [D]the ancient yuletide carol,
[G]Fa -la -la [D]-la -la, la -la -la [Bb]-la.[Ab][Eb][Bb]
[Eb]The next[D] good joy that
Christmas brings
It is the joy of [G]four
[A]Of shepherds keeping watch that night
Be[D]side the [E]stable [A]door.[E][A]
[D]Ah, [A]the shep[D]herds keeping
[A]watch that night
[D]Beside [E]the stable [A]door.
[D]The first
Noel the an[G]gels did [D]say
Was to [G]certain poor [D]shepherds
in fields [A]where [D]they lay
In fields where [A]they [G]lay [F#m]keeping [D]their sheep
On a cold winter's [G]night
that [D]was so deep
Noel,
[Bm]Noel,[F#m]
[D]Noel,[G]
[D]Noel,
Born is [G]the
[D]King of
[F#m]Is rae[D]l.
The [G]greatest joy that
[D]Christmas brings, it is the joy of five,
The [G]message of good will to men,
[D]forever kept [G]alive,
Forever [D]kept alive, good friends,
[G]forever kept alive,
The message of good[C]will,
The [Am]message [D]of goodwill,
The message [D]of goodwill
to men forever [D]kept [G]alive.[D]
