[ A spaceman came travelling von Chris de Burgh ]

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from a far.

Twas lightyears of time since his mission did start.
    a       G          F           a
And over a village he halted his craft
	C           G           F          F   G   a
And it hung in the sky like a star - just like a star.

He followed a light and came down to a shed
where a mother and child were lying there on a bed.
A bright light of silver shone round his head
and he had the face of an angel and they were afraid.

Then the stranger spoke, he said: Do not fear!
I come from a planet a long way from here.
And I bring a message for mankind to hear.
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.

And it went: la lalala lalala lalala  la lalala lalala  la lalala lalala lalala
 a                             G       F    G      a
Peace and goodwill to all the men and love for a child.

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
and many were awakened on hearing that sound.
And travellers on the road the village they found
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.

And just before dawn at the paling of the sky
The stranger returned and said: Now I must fly.
When two thousand years of your time has gone by
This song will begin once again to a babies cry.

And it went la lalala...This song will begin once again to a babies cry.
And it goes la lalala....Peace and goodwill to all men and love for a child.
[spoken:] Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear that song again.
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here!
   ...This song will begin once again to a babies cry.
