NOEL: CHRISTMAS EVE, 1913 Music & Lyrics by Bridges and Holdridge Sung
by John Denver on A augmentedA Christmas Together (1979)


G+G
A augmentedA frosty Christmas eve, when the stars where shining
E minorEm             C majorC         D MajorD
I traveled forth alone, where westward falls the hill
C majorC       D MajorD        C majorC        D MajorD
And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley
G+G              C majorC     G+G
Distant music reached me, peals of bells were ringing.


G+G
Then spread my thoughts to olden times, to that first of Christmases
E minorEm                 C majorC      D MajorD
When shepherds who were watching, heard music in the fields
C majorC         D MajorD         C majorC          D MajorD
And they sat there and they marveled, and they knew they could not tell
G+G            C majorC       G+G
Whether it were angels, or the bright stars a-singing


G+G
But to me heard a far, it was starry music
E minorEm             C majorC       D MajorD
The singing of the angels, the comfort of our lord
C majorC        D MajorD         C majorC       D MajorD
Words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times
G+G           C majorC       G+G
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill
C majorC       G+G
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill
