A Spaceman Came Travelling — Chris de Burgh
Chords and lyrics for A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh (key of F).
Verse 1
Basically ive put the chords above the lyrics and done them for the whole
song so its easier to read, and btw on the last chorus bit, the singer
shouts:
Oh the whole world is waiting, waiting to hear the song again,
There are thousands standing on the edge of the world,
And a star is moving somewhere, the time is nearly here,
It was a bit hard to write with the lyrics so if you need it im sure that
Hope it helps :D
Verse 1
A [Am]spaceman came [C]travelling on his [G]ship from [Am]afar,
'twas [C]light years of [G]time since his [F]mission did [F]start[G]
And [Am]over a [Em]village he [F]halted his [Am]craft,
And it [C]hung in the [G]sky like a [F]star, just [F]like [G]a [Am]star.
Verse 2
He [Am]followed a [C]light and came [G]down to a [Am]shed,
Where a [C]mother and [G]child were lying [F]there on a [F][G]bed,
A [Am]bright light of [Em]silver [F]shone round his [Am]head,
And he [C]had the [G]face of an [F]angel, and [F]they [G]were [Am]afraid.
Verse 3
Then the [Am]stranger [C]spoke, he [G]said "Do not [Am]fear,
I [C]come from a [G]planet a [F]long way from [F][G]here,
And [Am]I bring a [Em]message for [F]mankind to [Am]hear",
And [C]suddenly the [G]sweetest [F]music [F]filled [G]the [Am]air.
Chorus
And [F]it [G]went [Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]La, la, la, [G]La, la, la, [F]La,[G][F]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]Peace and [G]goodwill to all of [F]men, and [F]love [G]for the [Am]child.
[F] [G] [Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]La, la, la, [G]La, la, la, [F]La,[G][F]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]oh, [G]oh, [F]oh.
Verse 4
This [Am]lovely [C]music went [G]trembling through the [Am]ground,
And [C]many were [G]wakened on [F]hearing that [F][G]sound,
And [Am]travellers on the [Em]road, the [F]village they [Am]found,
By the [C]light of that [G]ship in the [F]sky, which [F]shone [G]all [Am]around.
Verse 5
And [Am]just before [C]dawn at the [G]paling of the [Am]sky,
The [C]stranger [G]returned and said [F]"Now I must [F][G]fly,
When [Am]two thousand [Em]years of your [F]time has gone [Am]by,
This [C]song will [G]begin once [F]again, to a [F][G]babys [Am]cry".
Final Chorus
And [F]it [G]went [Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]La, la, la, [G]La, la, la, [F]La,[G][F]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]Peace and [G]goodwill to all of [F]men, and [F]love [G]for the [Am]child.
And [F]I [G]hear [Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]La, la, la, [G]La, la, la, [F]La,[G][F]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
This [C]song will [G]begin once [F]again, to a [F][G]babys [Am]cry".
And [F]it [G]went [Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
[C]La, la, la, [G]La, la, la, [F]La,[G][F]
[Am]La, la, la, [Em]La, la, la, [F]La, la, la, [Am]La,
This [C]song will [G]begin once [F]again, to a [F][G]babys [Am]cry".
