G       D        C         G
The first nowell the angel did say 
       C            D            C              G
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
                D          C             G 
In fields where they lay a keeping their sheep
     C             D          C      G  
On a cold winter's night that was so deep


[Chorus]
  G      D      C      G
Nowell nowell nowell nowell
C           D       C   G
Born is the king of Israel
 

[Verse 2]
     G      D      C     G
They looked up and saw a star 
        C      D      C         G
Shining in the east beyond them far
    G      D        C          G
And to the earth it gave great light
    C        D           C       G  
And so it continued both day and night


[Chorus]
  G      D      C      G
Nowell nowell nowell nowell
C           D       C   G
Born is the king of Israel


[Chorus]
  G      D      C      G
Nowell nowell nowell nowell
C           D       C   G
Born is the king of Israel
