A Spaceman Came Travelling [Chris de Burgh] Chris de Burgh Am Em Intro: [Am] / [Em] / [F] / [Am] / [C] / [G] / [F] / / [G] [Am] / [Em] / [F] / [Am] / [C] / [G] / [F] / / / [F] / / [G] [Am] / / / [Am] / / /

A [Am] spaceman came [C] travelling on his [G] ship from a[Am]far, 'Twas [C] light years of [G] time since his [F] mission / did / start, [G] And [Am] over a [Em] village he [F] halted his [Am] craft, F And it [C] hung in the [G] sky like a [F] star, / / / [F] just / like [G] a [Am] star / / / [Am] / / /

He [Am] followed a [C] light and [G] came down to a [Am] shed, Where a [C] mother and [G] child were lying [F] there on a bed, [G]

A [Am] bright light of [Em] silver [F] shone round his [Am] head, And [C] he had the [G] face of an [F] angel, / / / [F] and they [G] were af[Am] raid / / / [Am] / / /

Then the [Am] stranger [C] spoke, he [G] said "Do not [Am] fear, I [C] come from a [G] planet a [F] long way from here, [G] And [Am] I bring a [Em] message for [F] mankind to [Am] hear," And [C] suddenly the [G] sweetest [F] music / / / [F] / / filled [G] the [Am] air / / / [Am] /

And [F] it [G] went: [Am] la-, la-la-[Em] la-, la-la-[F] la-, la-la-[Am] la- [C] La-, la-la-[G] la-, la-la-[F] la- / / [G] [Am] La-, la-la-[Em] la-, la-la-[F] la-, la-la-[Am] la- [C] Peace and good[G]will to all [F] men, / / / [F] / and love [G] for the [Am] child / / / [Am] / / [F] [G]

This [Am] lovely [C] music went [G] trembling through the [Am] ground, And [C] many were [G] wakened on [F] hearing / that / sound [G]

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, / / / [F] / which / shone [G] all ‘[Am] round / / / [Am]

And [Am] just before [C] dawn at the [G] paling of the [Am] sky, The [C] stranger retur[G]ned and said [F] "Now / I must / fly, [G] When [Am] two thousand [Em] years of your [F] time has gone [Am] by, This [C] song will be[G]gin once a[F]gain, / / / [F] / / to a / bab[G]y's [Am] cry" / / / [Am] /

And [F] it [G] went: [Am] la-, la-la-[Em] la-, la-la-[F] la-, la-la-[Am] la- [C] La-, la-la-[G] la-, la-la-[F] la- / / [G] [Am] La-, la-la-[Em] la-, la-la-[F] la-, la-la-[Am] la- This [C] song will be[G]gin once a[F]gain / / / [F] / to a bab[G]y’s [Am] cry / / / [Am] /
