BY JOHN WHEELER AND WG JAMES KEY D VERSE 1 4 6 6 -6 7 -6 6 5 A-cross the plains on Christ-mas night -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 5 -4 Three dro-vers ri-ding blythe and gay, -4 5 -4 4 -4 5 -5 6 Looked up and saw a star-ry light 6 -6 6 -5 6 -6 -6 7 More ra-diant than the Milk-y Way; 7 -6 6 -6 -6 6 -4 -4 And on their hearts such won-der fell, 5 5 -5 6 -6 -6 -7 6 6 4 5 -4 -4 4 They sang with joy. 'No-el! No-el! No-el! No-el! No-el!' VERSE 2 The air was dry with summer heat, And smoke was on the yellow moon; But from the heavens, faint and sweet, Came floating down a wond'rous turn; And as they heard, they sang full well Those drovers three. 'Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!' VERSE 3 The black swans flew across the sky, The wild dog called across the plain, The starry lustre blazed on high, Still echoed on the heavenly strain; And still they sang, 'Noel! Noel!' Those drovers three. 'Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!' ENJOY!! |
