How Many Kings downhere
I think this version is more accurate than the previous ones. I pulled it from the live
performance of the song at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iSivQmzJ_w. Some of the
names may be wrong, but the fingering is correct, I believe. See the chord diagrams.
It's a beautiful song. Enjoy!
CAPO IV (note all chords and diagrams assume CAPO IV is nut)
Verse 1:
[G2]Follow the star to a p[G2addC]lace unexp[G2]ected
[Em7]Would you believe after [EmaddC]all we?ve proj[Em7]ected
A [Am7]child in a manger
[G2]Lowly and small, the [G2addC]weakest of [G2]all
Unl[Em7]ikeliest hero, [Em7addC]wrapped in his [Em7]mother's [Am7]shawl
[Am7]Just a child
[Am7]Is this who we?ve waited [Dsus]for?[D] [D2] [D]
Chorus:
[G2]How many kings, stepped [G2addC]down from their t[G2]hrones?
[Em7]How many lords have a[Em7addC]bandoned their [Em7]homes?
[Am7]How many greats have become the least for m[Dsus]e?[D]
[G2]How many Gods have p[G2addC]oured out their [G2]hearts
To [Em7]romance a world that has [Em7addC]torn all a[Em7]part?
[Am7]How many fathers gave up their sons for [Dsus]me?[D] [D2] [D]
Verse 2:
[G2]Bringing our gifts for the [G2addC]newborn [G2]savior
[Em7]All that we have whether [EmaddC]costly or [Em7]meek
[Am7]Because we believe
[G2]Gold for his honor and [G2addC]frankincense [G2]for his [Em7]pleasure
[Em7]And myrrh for the [EmaddC]cross he?ll [Em7]suffer
[Am7]Do you believe, is this who we?ve waited [Dsus]for?[D] [D2] [D]
(It?s who we?ve waited for)
Bridge
only one did that for [Fmaj7]me[Am7]
Ahhh, all for [D2]me, ye[D9]ah
[Am7]Oooohh, O[D2]hhhhh[D9]h
[Am7]All for me, All for [D2]you[D9]
(repeat 4x)
