Journey Of The Magi

not sure of the original key , or if this is exactly how frank does it , but it works for me! hope you enjoy . . . G#m B B F# moses was old , a chill in his bones . F# G#m B F# falling apart , he knew in his heart that his time had come . G#m B B F# as he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands , F# G#m B F# he smiled at how he would never see his promised land . E F# G#m E B he sang i could have lived and died an egyptian prince , G#m E i could have played safe , G#m F# B but in the end the journeys brought joys that outweigh the pain . odysseus sat tired and alone . hed always held out against all the doubts that he would come home . but now he was here , his soul felt estranged . his wife and his dog , his son and his gods , everything changed . he sang i could have stayed and ruled as an ithican prince , i couldve played safe . but in the end the journeys brought joys that outweigh the pain . balthazar rode for seven long years , eastwards and far , he followed his star , and it brought him here . to a stable in ruins in some backwater town , to a virgin defiled , no king but a child , too small for a crown . he sang i could have lived with my gods as a persian prince , i couldve played safe , but in the end the journeys brought joys that outweigh the pain . paupers and kings , princes and thieves , singers of songs , righters of wrongs , be what you believe . so saddle your horse and shoulder your load , burst at the seams , be what you dream , and take to the road . [ ends on A B chord ]
