A Spaceman Came Travelling Chris de Burgh
[Intro]
Intro is instrumental of first verse
[Verse 1]
A [Dm]spaceman came [F]travelling on his [C]ship from afar[Dm],
[Bb]'twas [F]light years of ti[C]me since [Bb]his mission did start
[F]And [Dm]over a vil[Am]lage [Bb]he halted his craft[Dm],
And it [F]hung in the [C]sky like a [Bb]star, just like [C]a st[Dm]ar.
[Verse 2]
He followed a lig[F]ht and came do[C]wn to a [Dm]shed,
Where [F]a mother and ch[C]ild were ly[Bb]ing there on a bed,[C]
A [Dm]bright light of sil[Am]ver [Bb]shone round his head,[Dm]
And [F]he had the face[C] of an an[Bb]gel, and they were a[Dm]fraid.
[Verse 3]
Then the stranger spoke,[F] he said "[C]Do not fear,[Dm]
I [F]come from a [C]planet a [Bb]long way from he[C]re,
And [F]I bring a mes[Am]sage for [Bb]mankind to [Dm]hear",
[F]Suddenly the [C]sweetest mu[Bb]sic [C]filled the [Dm]air.
[Cborus]
And [F]it went [Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]La, la, la, [C]La, la, la, [Bb]La,[C]
[Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]Peace and good[C]will to all of [Bb]men, and [C]love for the c[Dm]hild.
[Cborus]
[C] [Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]La, la, la, [C]La, la, la, [Bb]La,[C]
[Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
Oh, [C]oh, [Bb]oh.[Dm]
[Verse 4]
This lovely mus[F]ic went [C]trembling through the [Dm]ground,
And [F]many were [C]wakened on [Bb]hearing that sound[C],
[F]And travell[Dm]ers on the [Am]road, the [Bb]village they [Dm]found,
By the [F]light of that [C]ship in the [Bb]sky, which shon[C]e all a[Dm]round.
[Verse 5]
And just before dawn [F]at the [C]paling of the sk[Dm]y,
A [F]stranger ret[C]urned and said "N[Bb]ow I must fly,
When [Dm]two thousand [Am]years of your [Bb]time has gone [Dm]by,
This [F]song will be[C]gin once ag[Bb]ain, to a baby's c[Dm]ry".
[Cborus]
And [Bb]it went [Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]La, la, la, [C]La, la, la, [Bb]La,
[Dm]La, la, la, [Am]La, la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
This [F]song will be[C]gin once ag[Bb]ain, to a baby's c[Dm]ry".
[Cborus]
And it [C]goes [Dm]La, la, la, [A]La, [Am]la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]La, la, la, [C]La, la, la, [Bb]La,[C]
[Dm]La, la, la, [A]La, [Am]la, la, [Bb]La, la, la, [Dm]La,
[F]Peace, good[C]will to all of [Bb]men, and love [C]for the [Dm]child.
[Verse 6]
Over the whole wo[B]rld is waiting [C]tog[Dm]ether,
[A]Wait[Am]ing to [Bb]hear to hear the song again[Dm]
[F]There lives are standi[C]ng on the [Bb]edge of the world[C]
[Dm]And it's started [Am]something at the [Bb]time of the [Dm]year,
So[F]ng will be[C]gin once a[Bb]gain to a baby's [D]cry.[G] [C] [Bb]
