Noel Christmas Eve 1913 chords Guitar Chords By John Denver

A 
A frosty Christmas eve, when the stars where shining     
F#m                         D                  E 
I traveled forth alone, where westward falls the hill         
D             E               D               E 
And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley         
A                           D          A 
Distant music reached me, peals of bells were ringing.   


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


A 
But to me heard a far, it was starry music      
F#m                         D              E 
The singing of the angels, the comfort of our lord          
D                E                 D             E 
Words of old that come a traveling, by the riches of the times        
A                     D              A 
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill                              
D              A 
And I softly listened, as i stood upon the hill
