[Verse]
The Gfirst Nowell the Cangel did Gsay
Was to Ccertain poor Gshepherds in Emfields as D/F#they Glay
In fields where they lay, Ckeeping their Gsheep
On a Ccold winter's Gnight that Emwas D/F#so Gdeep
[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowell, NoCwell, NoGwell
CBorn is the Gking of EmIs-D/F#ra---Gel C G C
[Verse]
They all Glooked up and Csaw a Gstar
Shining Cin the Geast beEmyond D/F#them Gfar
And to the earth it Cgave great Glight
And Cso it conGtinued both Emday D/F#and Gnight
[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowell, NoCwell, NoGwell
CBorn is the Gking of EmIs-D/F#ra---Gel C G C

[Verse]
And Gby the light of Cthat same Gstar
Three Cwise men Gcame from EmcounD/F#try Gfar
To seek for a king was Ctheir inGtent
And to Cfollow the Gstar wheresoEmever D/F#it Gwent
[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowell, NoCwell, NoGwell
CBorn is the Gking of EmIs-D/F#ra---Gel C G C
[Verse]
The Gstar drew nigh to Cthe north-Gwest
O'er CBethleGhem it Emtook D/F#its Grest
And there it did both Cstop and Gstay
Right Cover the Gplace where EmJe-D/F#sus Glay
[Chorus]
Nowell, Nowell, NoCwell, NoGwell
