1. The first noel the angel did say
       D            E            D      E  D    A
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
                E        D             A
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
          D        E          D      A
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
            E     D     A
    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    D           A       D E A
    Born is the King of Israel!
        A      E      D     A
2. They looked up and saw a star
        D      E       D E  D    A
Shining in the east, beyond them far,
           E        D          A
And to the earth it gave great light,
    D        E           D       A
And so it continued both day and night.
            E     D     A
    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    D           A       D E A
    Born is the King of Israel!
            E     D     A
    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    D           A       D E A
    Born is the King of Israel!
       A      E        D         A
3. And by the light of that same star,
      D        E         D E D   A
Three wise men came from country far;
              E    D           A
To seek for a king was their intent,
       D          E        D       A
And to follow the star wherever it went.
            E     D     A
    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    D           A       D E A
    Born is the King of Israel!
            E     D     C#m E
    Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
    |: F#m         E            D   A :|

                               (Born is the King…)
    D           A       D E A
    Born is the King of Israel!
