A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Chris de Burgh Song List
Version 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
you can listen to the song and figure it out :)
Hope it helps :D
Capo 5
[Verse 1]
Am C G Am
A 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 Am
And over a village he halted his craft,
C G F F G Am
And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star.
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
C G F F G
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed,
Am Em F Am
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
C G F F G Am
And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid.
[Verse 3]
Am C G Am
Then the stranger spoke, he said "Do not fear,
C G F F G
I come from a planet a long way from here,
Am Em F Am
And 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 Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am Em F Am
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G Am
Peace 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 G
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am Em F Am
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F
oh, oh, oh.
[Verse 4]
Am C G Am
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
C G F F G
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
Am Em F Am
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
C G F F G Am
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all around.
[Verse 5]
Am C G Am
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
C G F F G
The stranger returned and said "Now I must fly,
Am Em F Am
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
C G F F G Am
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
[Final Chorus]
F G Am Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am Em F Am
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G Am
Peace and goodwill to all of men, and love for the child.
F G Am Em F Am
And I hear La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am Em F Am
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G Am
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
F G Am Em F Am
And it went La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G
La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
Am Em F Am
La, la, la, La, la, la, La, la, la, La,
C G F F G Am
This song will begin once again, to a babys cry".
