Verse 1
(G major) (C major)
(G major) Good King Wenceslaus
looked out on (C major) the feast of (G major) Stephen
When the snow lay round about,
(C major) deep and crisp and (G major) even
Brightly shone the moon that night,
(C major) though the frost was (G major) cruel
When a (C major) poor man came in (G major) sight,
Gathering winter (C major) fuel. (G major)
Hither, page, and stand by me,
(D major) If thou (C major) know'st it (G major) telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he,
(D major) Where and (C major) what his (G major) dwelling?
Sire, he lives on (E minor) Woodley Pence,
(C major) Underneath the (G major) mountain,
Rid (D major) ing against the forest fence
(G major) by Saint Agnes' foun (C major) tain
(G major) Bring me flesh and bring me wine,
bring me pine logs hither
Thou and I will see him dine
when we (F major) bathe in (G major) thither
Page and monarch forth they went,
(C major) forth they went to (G major) gether
Through the (C major) rude winds wild lament,
(G major) And the bitter (C major) weather. (G major)
(B flat major) Sire, the night is (G minor) darker now,
(F major) And the wind blows stronger (B flat major) ,
Fails my heart, I (G minor) know not how,
(F major) I can go no (E flat major) longer.
(B flat major) Mark (D minor) my footsteps,
(G minor) my good page,
(F major) Tread thou in them boldly,
(B flat major) Thou shalt find the winter (F major) 's rage,
freeze thy blood less (B flat major) coldly. (E flat major) (B flat major)
In his master's steppe he trod,
where the snow lay (B flat major) din ted.
Heat was (F major) in the very sod
which the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian (F major) men,
be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
(B flat major) Ye who now will bless the (F major) poor
Shall yourselves find blessing!
(E flat major) Shall yourselves (B flat major) find blessing! (B flat major)
