Intro: 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 

 
                  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 


                  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 



Outro: A7  Dm  A7  Dm  A7  Dm  A7  Dm
