G 2 1 3 D 1 3 2 C 3 2 1
     G      D      C          G
The first Noel the angel did say
        C            G           C              D
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
   G      D              C             G
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
      C            G          C   D G
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

G     D     G     C
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
G           C       D   G
Born is the King of Israel.
