Am    G             F                                 
 I saw three kings riding through the desert as the day begins  
Am       G         F                   G 
 We bring great joy to the birth of a baby boy 
C                G           Dm                   Am 
 By the star we have been led to this place that someone said  
      F                                   Em                Am 
 The people that you're looking for have never been here at all 

Am    G          F               
 I saw two birds one was a hawk, the other was a dove  
Am         G              F                G 
 One said "I am war", the other one said, "I am love"  
C                 G               Dm                  Am 
 As they flew up to the sky they got to close to the sun  
              F                  Em                Am 
 And with a flash of light, the dove fell to the ground 

  Am     G               F 
    Sometimes we never know

    When its time for letting go

    Last night I heard them say  
     C  G           D

               F                  G             Am  
    But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem  
               F                  G             Am

 I saw St. Paul talking to the devil like the best of friends 
Am                G                F                   G 
 They said "lets make a deal and bring this curse and war to an end" 
C                      G                Dm                            Am 
 As they stood there shaking hands the devil signed his name to the plan  
          F                     Em              Am 
 After a couple days there was nothing there at all 

  Am     G               F
