Wise Men

Dm

[Verse 1]
                         F         
In the dessert where the stars are 
Am
bright
    C      F       G         C
And constellations rule your life
E7                       A7
Long ago three kings set out
   C      F          Dm
To follow a peculiar light


[Verse 2]
                     F      Am
What did they see up in the sky
     C         F          G       
That made them take leave of their 
 C
land?
    E7                   A7
And carry gifts on camel back
C    F                Dm
Over years of endless sand

[Verse 3]
                           F       
Through cloudless days and 
  Am
cloudless nights
    C      F       G     C
The bells upon the camel ringing
E7                               
And the wind playing on riffs of 
A7
sand
   C           F                
It must be the voices of angels 
Dm
singing


[Chorus]
                  F    Am
Gold to crown his loftiness
Dm                 G       Dm    
Myrrh for the man upon his death
  C  F   C

Dm               G    Dm     A7 
Frankincense for godliness
 Dm   A7



[Verse 4]
                      F       Am
Black smoke hides the stars tonight
    C       F        G      C
And mines explode in golden sand
E7                        A7
Underground, black waters flow
   C      F                   Dm
In Afghan fields, the poppies grow


[Chorus]
                  F    Am
Gold to crown his loftiness
Dm                 G       Dm    
Myrrh for the man upon his death
  C  F   C

Dm               G    Dm
Frankincense for godliness
