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