[Verse 1]
   Am       E     Am      E
God rest ye merry gentlemen,
    F              E
Let nothing you dismay
  Am      E       Am     E
Remember Christ our savior
    F              E
Was born upon this day
   Dm               C
To save us all from Satan's power
     Am              G
When we were gone astray
   C             G        Am
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
            G
Comfort and joy,
   C          G            Am E Am E Am E Am E
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly father
     F             E
This blessed angel came
    Am   E       Am    E
And unto certain shepherds
        F              E
Brought tidings of the same
    Dm            C
How that in Bethlehem was born
    Am            G
The son of God by name
  C          G           Am
O tidings of comfort and joy,
            G
Comfort and joy
  C          G            Am E Am E
O tidings of comfort and joy

G  C               F       C
O, Star of wonder, star of night,
C                F      C
Star with royal beauty bright
Am       G        C        F
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Dm              E       Am E Am E Am E Am  E
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Am             E            Am
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Am             E          Am
Gold I bring to crown him again
        G     C       F
King forever, ceasing never,
Dm       E       Am E Am E
Over us all to reign.

Westward leading, still proceeding,
Dm              E       Am E Am E Am E Am E
Guide us to thy perfect light.
 
[Verse 4]
Am              E        Am
Glorious now, behold Him arise.
Am               E      Am
King and God and sacrifice
     G      C      F
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Dm          E         Am E Am E Am
Worship him God most high

O, Star of wonder, star of night,
                F        C
Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Guide us to thy perfect light.

The "F" on "To save us all..." (and similar parts) should be a "Dm". [tab] Dm C To save us all from Satan's power[/tab] Between the "F" and the "E" over "still proceeding guide us..." (and similar parts) should be a "Dm". [tab]Am G C F Westward leading, still proceeding. Dm E Am E Am E Guide us to thy perfect light.[/tab] Otherwise, I think it's spot on. Because of this I figured it out quite quickly. Thanks!

i like it. it actually sounds like the BNL version to me. it also doesn't have chords i struggle to play.

I like throwing in a G7 on the intro to the chorus. G G7 O - Oh (Star of Wonder)
