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!!
