A Spaceman Came Travelling Chris de Burgh
Spaceman Came Travellin?
A [Am]spaceman came [C]travelling on his [G]ship from [Am]afar,
'twas [C]light years of [G]time since his [F]mission did start,[FG]
And [Am]over a [Em]village he [F]halted his [Am]craft,
[C] [G] [F] [F]
[G]And[Am] it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.
He [Am]followed a [C]light and came [G]down to a [Am]shed,
Where a [C]mother and a [G]child were lying [F]there on a [F]be[G]d,
A [Am]bright light of [Em]silver [F]shone round his [Am]head,
[C] [G] [F] [F] [G]
And[Am] he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
Then the [Am]stranger [C]spoke, he said [G]"Do not [Am]fear,
I [C]come from a [G]planet a [F]long way from [F]he[G]re
And [Am]I bring a [Em]message for [F]mankind to [Am]hear",
And [C]suddenly the [G]sweetest [F]music [F]fi[G]lled the [Am]air.
[F] [G] [Am] [Em] [F]
An[Am]d it went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
[C]La, la, la, [G]la, la, la, [F]la,[F] [G]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]la, la, la, [F]la, la, la, [Am]la,
[C] [G] [F] [F] [G]
Peace[Am] and good will to all men, and love for the child.
This [Am]lovely [C]music went [G]trembling through the [Am]ground,
And [C]many were [G]wakened on [F]hearing that [F]so[G]und,
And [Am]travellers on the [Em]road, the [F]village they [Am]found,
By the [C]light of that [G]ship in the [F]sky,
Which [F]shone [G]all [Am]around
And [Am]just before [C]dawn at the [G]paling of the [Am]sky,
The [C]stranger re[G]turned and said [F]"Now I must [F]fl[G]y,
When [Am]two thousand [Em]years of your [F]time has gone [Am]by,
[C] [G] [F] [F] [G]
T[Am]his song will begin once again, to a baby's cry".
Chorus x2 end w/ "To a baby?s cry"
