[ Предположительная тональность: G ] NOEL: CHRISTMAS EVE, 1913 Music & Lyrics by Bridges and Holdridge Sung by John Denver on A Christmas Together (1979) G A frosty Christmas eve, when the stars where shining Em C D I traveled forth alone, where westward falls the hill C D C D And for many, many a village, in the darkness of the valley G C G Distant music reached me, peals of bells were ringing.
