Melanie - Good King Wenceslaus




CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C majorC

Good King Wenceslaus looked out
FF        C majorC
On the feast of Stephen

When the snow lay 'round about
FF         C majorC
Deep and crisp and even
          A minorAm
Brightly shone the moon that night
FF          C majorC
Though the frost was cruel
    A minorAm    FF    G+G
When a poor man came in sight
C majorC        FF  C majorC
Gathering winter fu-u-el

"Hither, page, and stand by me
FF          C majorC
If thou knowest it, telling

Yonder peasant, who is he?
FF         C majorC
Where and what his dwelling?"
         A minorAm
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
FF       C majorC
Underneath the mountain
    A minorAm    FF   G+G
Right against a forest fence
C majorC        FF    C majorC
By Saint Agnes' fou-oun-tain"


"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine
FF         C majorC
Bring me pine logs hither

Thou and I shall see him dine
FF         C majorC
When we bear them thither"
         A minorAm
Page and monarch, forth they went
FF         C majorC
Forth they went together
      A minorAm     FF   G+G
Through the rude wind's wild lament
C majorC       FF   C majorC
And the bitter wea-ea-ther

"Sire, the night is darker now
FF         C majorC
And the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how
FF      C majorC
I can go no longer"
          A minorAm
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
FF         C majorC
Tread thou in them boldly
      A minorAm    FF    G+G
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
C majorC           FF   C majorC
Freeze thy blood less co-old-ly"


Lead Break:  FF C majorC  FF C majorC  A minorAm FF C majorC A minorAm FF G+G C majorC FF C majorC


In his master's steps he trod
FF         C majorC
Where the snow lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod
FF          C majorC
Which the saint had printed
           A minorAm
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
FF         C majorC
Wealth or rank possessing
    A minorAm    FF     G+G
Ye who now will bless the poor
C majorC           FF   C majorC
