A Spaceman Can Travelling Tab par Chris De Burgh

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

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

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

    F  G    Am          Em          F           Am
And it went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
C           G           F  F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am          Em          F           Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C              G           F        F    G       Am
peace and good will to all men, and love for the child

F G Am          Em          F           Am
    la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
C           G           F  F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am          Em          F           Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C   G   F  F G Am
oh, oh, oh

     Am     C          G                     Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
    C         G          F            F     G
and many were wakened on hearing that sound, 
    Am                Em      F            Am
and travellers on the road, a village they found,
       C             G           F          F     G   Am
by the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all 'round

    Am          C           G             Am
and just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
    C          G                F          F   G
the stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, 
     Am           Em            F             Am
when two thousand years of your time has gone by,
     C           G         F          F G    Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"

    F  G    Am          Em          F           Am
And it went la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
C           G           F  F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am          Em          F           Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
     C           G         F          F G    Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry

    F  G    Am          Em          F           Am
And it goes la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, 
C           G           F  F G
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
Am          Em          F           Am
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
C              G           F        F    G       Am
peace and good will to all men, and love for the child

             F        G
Oh the whole world is waiting, 
Am         Em            F               Am
la, la, la la waiting to hear that song again,
C            G                         F                 F G
la there are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
Am                      Em                 F              Am
la and a star is moving somewhere, and the time is nearly here,
     C           G         F          F G    Am
this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry
