Good King Wenceslas

G                               C               G
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen
                               C                  G
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even
         C         G         Em     C                    G
Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel
       C        Em      D      G                Em C G
When a poor man came in sight, gathering winter fuel___

                             C                G
Hither page and stand by me, if thou knowest, telling
                           C                  G
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?
         C       G           Em     C              G
Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain
      C           Em     D      G            Em  C  G
Right against the forest fence, by St. Agnes fountain

                                  C                  G
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither
                               C                 G
Thou and I shall see him dine, when we bear them thither
         C        G          Em    C                 G
Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together
            C          Em     D    G              Em  C  G
Through the rude winds wild lament and the bitter weather__

                               C                  G
Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger
                                C           G
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer
        C          G       Em    C                  G
Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread thou in them boldly
           C        Em       D     G                     Em C G
Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood less coldly

                               C                  G
In his masters' steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted
                          C                   G
Heat was in the very sod, which the saint had printed
           C    G      Em    C                 G
Therefore, everyone be sure, wealth or rank possessing
       C         Em        D     G     C   G      D    Em  C  G
Ye who now shall bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing
