Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]

[Verse]
E
Good King Wenceslas last looked out
A B E
On the feast of Stephen
E
When the snow lay round about
A B E
Deep and crisp and even
E
Brightly shown the moon that night
A B E
Though the frost was cruel
F#m
When a poor man came in sight
E A E B
Gathering winter fuel...
[Verse]
E
"Hither, page, and stand by me
A B E
If thou knowst it telling
E
Yonder peasant, who is he?
A B E
Where and what his dwelling?"
E
"Sire, he lives a good league hence
A B E
Underneath the mountain
F#m
Right against the forest fence
E A E B
By Saint Agnes fountain"
[Verse]
E
"Bring me flesh, and bring me wine
A B E
Bring me pine logs hither
E
Thou and I will see him dine
A B E
When we bear the river"
E
Page and monarch, forth they went
A B E
Forth they went together
F#m
Through the rude wind's wild lament
E A E Am D G
And the bitter weather
[Verse]
G
"Sire, the night is darker now
C D G
And the wind blows stronger
G
Fails my heart, I know not how
C D G
I can go no longer"
G
"Hark my footsteps my good page
C D G
Tread thou in them boldly
Am
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
G C G D
Freeze thy blood less coldly"
[Verse]
G
In his master's step he trod
C D G
Where the snow lay dented
G
Heat was in the very sod
C D G
Where the saint had printed
G
Therefore, Christian men, be sure
C D G
Wealth or rank possessing
Am
Ye who now will bless the poor
G C G
Shall yourselves find blessing
