Chord Frank Turner Journey Of The Magi Versi 2

this is a very simple interpretation, but works well :)

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
