Thread Name: Tune Req: songs about the magi
Subject: RE: Tune Req: any songs about the magi?
I checked earlier post and saw no mention of American Noel, so here are the words:


(D)Three wise men
Riding (A)hard through the (D)cold
(G)Lost on some big (D)city street
With (A)no place warm to go
They are (D)looking for a manger
Or a (A)sign in the (D)lights
But they're a (G)long way from (D)Bethle(A)hem to(D)night (Asus4)

But they heard about a (D)savior
And a preacher in the (G)park
Who will camp with the (D)homeless
Where they shiver in the (A)dark
He'll deliver sal(D)vation
To the weary and the (G)cold
And he'll bring (D)joy (G)joy (D)joy to the (A)wandering (D)soul (A)

The (D)cleaning lady sighs
As she (A)closes up the (D)gate
'Cause (G)this job don't quite (D)pay the bills
And she's (A)always working late
But (D)all in a moment
Comes a (A)light from a(D)bove
It's an (G)angel speaking (D)words of (A)joy and (D)love (Asus4)

And he tells her of a (D)savior
And a preacher in the (G)park
Who will camp with the (D)homeless
Under bridges in the (A)dark
He'll deliver sal(D)vation
To the weary and the (G)cold
And he'll bring (D)joy (G)joy (D)joy to the (A)wandering (D)soul (A)

(D)Four in the morning
At the (A)Tradewinds Mo(D)tel
The (G)register reads (D)"all full up"
And the (A)clerk thinks just as well
But (D)out in the tool shed
'Round an (A)old Coleman (D)lamp
A (G)little family (D)makes its (A)meager (D)camp (Asus4)

The (D)Wise Men bring presents
And the (A)angels gather (D)'round
The (G)cleaning lady (D)slips in through the (A)door without a sound
And an (D)old black dog
Looks (A)on with the (D)rest
At the (G)little babe up(D)on his (A)mother's (D)breast (Asus4)

And there comes a (D)savior
And a preacher in the (G)park
And he camps with the (D)homeless
Where they shiver in the (A)dark
He delivers sal(D)vation
To the weary and the (G)cold
And he brings (D)joy (G)joy (D)joy to the (A)wandering (D)soul (G)
And he brings (D)joy (G)joy (D)joy to the (A)wandering (D)soul
