The First Noel Bing Crosby
[Intro]
[A]Say friends wherever you are [E]tonight, in the [A]snows of New England or up in the [D]Northwest,
[A]or on warm tropical beaches of [E]Florida coast, I h[D]ope you're [A]getting into the spirit of this Christmas [A]day.
[A]I don't mean sitting back in your[E] easy chair us having all the fun. [D]Throw ba[A]ck your head, [A]open up your heart.
[A]and singing [E]as loud or as pretty[D] as you kn[A]ow how. Gang singing is a lot more[D] fun then you'll ever know
[A]unless you g[E]ive it a whirl. So co[A]me on now, join me in the First Noe[D]l. If you don't know the words well,
[A]hum a little[E], tap your feet or gee[A] whiz, do something! You ready?'[D]
