Dm
[Verse 1]
F Am
In the dessert where the stars are 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 C
That made them take leave of their land?
E7 A7
And carry gifts on camel back
C F Dm
Over years of endless sand
[Verse 3]
F Am
Through cloudless days and cloudless nights
C F G C
The bells upon the camel ringing
E7 A7
And the wind playing on riffs of sand
C F Dm
It must be the voices of angels singing
[Chorus]
F Am
Gold to crown his loftiness
Dm G Dm C F C
Myrrh for the man upon his death
Dm G Dm A7 Dm A7
Frankincense for godliness
[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 C F C
Myrrh for the man upon his death
Dm G Dm
Frankincense for godliness
