Melanie - Good King Wenceslaus


## NOTE: The Intro, Outro and verse Lead-in is a combination of C and Cadd9 ##


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: C

Good King Wenceslaus looked out
F C
On the feast of Stephen

When the snow lay 'round about
F C
Deep and crisp and even
Am
Brightly shone the moon that night
F C
Though the frost was cruel
Am F G
When a poor man came in sight
C F C
Gathering winter fu-u-el



"Hither, page, and stand by me
F C
If thou knowest it, telling

Yonder peasant, who is he?
F C
Where and what his dwelling?"
Am
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
F C
Underneath the mountain
Am F G
Right against a forest fence
C F C
By Saint Agnes' fou-oun-tain"



"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine
F C
Bring me pine logs hither

Thou and I shall see him dine
F C
When we bear them thither"
Am
Page and monarch, forth they went
F C
Forth they went together
Am F G
Through the rude wind's wild lament
C F C
And the bitter wea-ea-ther



"Sire, the night is darker now
F C
And the wind blows stronger

Fails my heart, I know not how
F C
I can go no longer"
Am
"Mark my footsteps, my good page
F C
Tread thou in them boldly
Am F G
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
C F C
Freeze thy blood less co-old-ly"


Lead Break: F C F C Am F C Am F G C F C



In his master's steps he trod
F C
Where the snow lay dinted

Heat was in the very sod
F C
Which the saint had printed
Am
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
F C
Wealth or rank possessing
Am F G
Ye who now will bless the poor
C F C
Shall yourselves find ble-es-sing
