By: Matt Maher

Transpose:
Verse 1
      FM7    C/E      Dm7          CM7
The first noel, the angels did say
        FM7             C/E          Dm7           CM7
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
     FM7           C/E      Dm7            CM7
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep
      FM7            C/E         Dm7      CM7
On a cold winter’s night, that was so deep
 

Pre-Chorus
  FM7   C/E  Dm  C/E
Noel, Noel
  FM7   C/E  Am  G
Noel, Noel
 

Chorus
                F      C    Am
Sing out with one accord
  G      F       C     Am
Praises to the Lord
G            F    C    Am  G
Oh come let us adore
 Csus   C   
Noel, Noel
 FM7         C/E   Dm7   C/E
Born is the King
 

Verse 2
       FM7     C/E     Dm7     CM7
They looked up and saw a star
         FM7    C/E      Dm7        CM7
Shining in the east, beyond them far
     FM7     C/E      Dm7          CM7
And to the earth it gave great light
     FM7      C/E           Dm7      CM7
And so it continued, both day and night


Chorus 1
 

Chorus 2
                F      C    Am
Sing out with one accord
  G      F       C     Am
Praises to the Lord
G            F    C    Am
Go and tell everyone
 G       F        C/E  Am  G
Jesus Christ is born
  F    C/E   Dm   C  
Noel, Noel
  F    C/G   Am  G   
Noel, Noel
  F    C/G   F/A   G/B
Noel, Noel
FM7          C/E   Dm7   C/E
Born is the King
FM7          C/E    Dm7    C
Born is the King of Israel
