[Verse]
    G                C         G
The first Nowell the angel did say
       C            G            Em        D/F# G
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
                          C             G
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep
     C             G          Em  D/F# G
On a cold winter's night that was so   deep

[Chorus]
                  C       G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C           G       Em D/F# G   C  G  C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el

[Verse]
         G             C     G
They all looked up and saw a star
        C      G      Em   D/F# G
Shining in the east beyond them far
                    C          G
And to the earth it gave great light
    C        G           Em  D/F# G
And so it continued both day and  night

[Chorus]
                  C       G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C           G       Em D/F# G   C  G  C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el

[Verse]
    G               C         G
And by the light of that same star
      C        G         Em  D/F# G
Three wise men came from country  far
                       C       G
To seek for a king was their intent
       C          G           Em   D/F# G
And to follow the star wheresoever it   went

[Chorus]
                  C       G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C           G       Em D/F# G   C  G  C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el

[Verse]
    G                 C         G
The star drew nigh to the north-west
     C     G      Em   D/F# G
O'er Bethlehem it took its  rest
                      C        G
And there it did both stop and stay
      C        G           Em D/F# G
Right over the place where Je-sus  lay

[Chorus]
                  C       G
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
C           G       Em D/F# G   C  G  C
Born is the king of Is-ra---el
