Refrain
   Am        Em7      Am
   A Soal, a soal, a soalcake
                 Em7       Am
   Please, good missus, a soalcake
   Am           Em7     Am        Em7
   An apple, a pear, a plum , a cherry
   Am        Em7      Am          Em7
   Any good thing to make us all marry
   Am      Em7    Am
   One for Peter, two for Paul
             Em7      Am
   Three for him who made us all

   Am             Em7   Am
1. God bless the master of this house
                    Em7  Am
   And the mistress also
                Em7    Am
   And all the little children
                          Em7  Am
   That ‘round your table go.
              Em7      Am 
   The cattle in your stable
               Em7        Am
   The dog by your front door
                 Em7      Am
   And all that dwells within your gates
               Em7        Am
   We wish you ten times more
 
2. Go down into the cellar
   And see what you can find
   If you barrels are not empty
   We hope you will be kind
   We hope you will be kind
   With your apple and strawber’
   For we’ll come no more a ‘soalin
   ‘Till this time next year

3. The streets are very dirty
   My shoes are very thin
   I have a little pocket
   To put a penny in 
   If you haven’t got a penny
   Then a ha’ penny will do
   If you haven’t got a ha’ penny
   The God bless you.

   Am
   Now to the Lord sing praises
        F               G
   All you within this place
       Am
   And with true love and brotherhood
         F            C
   Each other now embrace
         Am          G     E7
   This Holy tide of Christmas
       Am             G
   Of beauty and of grace
   F-G-C             E7         Am
   Good tidings of comfort and joy
    E7         Am
   Comfort and joy
    F-G-C            E7         Am
   Good tidings of comfort and joy.
