Chris De Burgh – A Spaceman Came Travelling chords ver. 2

Tabbed by: Guitarman147 (Anyway... back in sanity...)


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
you can listen to the song and figure it out :)
Hope it helps :D




*CAPO 5*


Verse1:
  Am            C                 G             AmA spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
      C              G              F              F  G'twas light years of time since his mission did start
    Am     Em         F          AmAnd over a village he halted his craft,
       C           G          F          F    G AmAnd it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.


Verse2:
   Am         C              G         AmHe followed a light and came down to a shed,
        C          G                F          F  GWhere a mother and child were lying there on a bed, 
  Am              Em     F               AmA bright light of silver shone round his head,
       C       G          F          F    G    AmAnd he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.


Verse3:
         Am          C      G            AmThen the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
  C           G        F             F  GI come from a planet a long way from here, 
    Am        Em          F          AmAnd I bring a message for mankind to hear",
    C            G        F     F      G   Am     And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air.

Chorus:
    F  G    Am          Em          F           AmAnd it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 
C           G           F     F  GLa, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am          Em          F           AmLa, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C             G              F        F    G       AmPeace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.


F  G    Am          Em          F           Am        La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 
C           G           F     F  GLa, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am          Em          F           AmLa, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C   G   Foh, oh, oh.


Verse4:
     Am     C          G                     AmThis lovely music went trembling through the ground,
    C         G          F            F    GAnd many were wakened on hearing that sound, 
    Am                Em        F            AmAnd travellers on the road, the village they found,
       C             G           F          F     G   AmBy the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.


Verse5:
    Am          C           G             AmAnd just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
    C          G               F           F  GThe stranger returned and said "Now I must fly, 
     Am           Em            F             AmWhen two thousand years of your time has gone by,
     C           G          F         F G   AmThis song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
Final Chorus:

    F  G    Am          Em          F           AmAnd it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 
C           G           F     F  GLa, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am          Em          F           AmLa, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C             G              F        F    G       AmPeace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.


    F G    Am          Em          F           AmAnd I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La, 
C           G           F     F  GLa, la, la, La, la, la, La,

     C           G          F         F G   AmThis song will begin once again, to a babys cry".


    F  G    Am          Em          F           AmAnd it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
