Journey Of The Magi

Em        G                   D
Moses was old, a chill in his bones
Am      C                     G                       D
Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come
Em               G                      D
As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands
Am               C              G                D
He smiled at how he would never see his promised land
          C            D         Em
He sang, "I could have lived and died
Cadd9       G                         C
An Egyptian prince, could have played safe
G                                D
But in the end journey's brought joys
                  G
That outweigh the pain"

Em           G             D
Now Odysseus sat tired and alone
He'd always held out against all the doubts he would come home
Em         G                   D
Now he was here, his soul felt estranged
Am               C                    G                D
His wife and his dog, his son and his gods, everything changed
          C            D         Em
He sang, "I could have stayed and ruled
Cadd9         G                       C
As an Ithacan prince, could've played safe
G                                D
But in the end journey's brought joys
                  G
That outweigh the pain"

Em            G                   D
Now Balthazar rode for seven long years
Am            C                    G                       D
Eastwards and far, he followed his star and it brought him here
Em             G                       D
To a stable in ruins in some backwater town
Am          C                      G                      D
To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown
          C            D             Em
He sang, "I could have lived with my Gods
Cadd9        G                         C
As a Persian prince, I could've played safe
           G                     D
But in the end journey's brought joys
                  G
That outweigh the pain"

Em                 G
Paupers and kings, princes and thieves
           C      D                               G
Singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe
Em          G                    D
Saddle your horse, shoulder your load
C                   D                                      G
Burst at the seams, be what you dream and then take to the road
