Good King Wenceslas looked out
C  G   C     D7 G
On the feast of Stephen
         Em   D   G     C D
When the snow lay round about,
C    G   C     D7  G
Deep and crisp and even.
D7       G     D   G    D    Em
Brightly shown the moon that night,
C      G   C     D7  G
Though the frost was cruel,
       C    G   Em      A
When a poor man came in sight,
G    D7   G  B7  Em C G
Gathering winter fue  l.
 
G       Em    D   G     C  D
Hither, page, and stand by me.
C  G    C    D7 G
If thou know it telling:
       Em   D   G   C  D
Yonder peasant, who is he?
C     G   C    D7  G
Where and what his dwelling?
D7       G     D G    D      Em
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
C G  C     D7  G
Underneath the mountain,
       C      G   Em     A
Right against the forest fence
G  D7    G  B7 Em  C G
By Saint Agnes fountain.
 
G        Em     D   G     C  D
Bring me flesh, and bring me wine.
C     G  C    D7   G
Bring me pine logs hither.

Thou and I  will see him dine
C    G  C    D7  G
When we bear the thither.

Page and monarch, forth they went,
C     G    C    D7 G
Forth they went to gether
            C    G      Em     A
Through the rude wind's wild lament
G   D7  G  B7  Em C G
And the bitter we ather.
 
G         Em    D  G   C  D
Sire, the night is darker now,
C   G   C    D7    G
And the wind blows stronger.
         Em     D G    C   D
Fails my heart, I know not how.
C G   C  D7 G
I can go no longer.
D7     G   D     G  D    Em
Ark my footsteps my good page,
C     G    C  D7   G
Tread thou in them boldly:
           C    G   Em       A
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
G      D7  G     B7   Em C G
Freeze thy blood less coldly.
 
G      Em    D  G    C  D
In his master's step he trod,
C     G   C    D7  G
Where the snow lay dented.
         Em D   G C  D
Heat was in the very sod
C     G   C     D7  G
Which the saint had printed.
D7         G     D   G    D  Em
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
C      G  C    D7 G
Wealth or rank possessing,
       C   G    Em        A
Ye who now will bless the poor
G     D7  G      B7   Em C G
Shall yourselves find blessing.
