Journey of the Magi Frank Turner
Not sure of the original key, or if this is exactly how Frank does it, but it
works for me! Hope you enjoy...
[Abm]Moses was [B]old, a c[B]hill in his [F#]bones.
[F#]Falling ap[Abm]art, he knew in his h[B]eart that his time had c[F#]ome.
As he l[Abm]ay in his t[B]ent in the h[B]ot desert s[F#]ands,
he s[F#]miled at how [Abm]he would never s[B]ee his promised l[F#]and.
He sang â[E]??I could have[F#] lived and[Abm] died an E[E]gyptian[B] prince,
I c[Abm]ould have played s[E]afe,
but in the [Abm]end the journeys brought j[F#]oys that outweigh the pa[B]in.â??
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 â??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.â??
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 â??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.â??
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)
