Kate & Anna McGarrigle – Wise Men (Guitar)

                         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

                     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

                           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

                  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

                      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

                  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
