The Magi (The Heart of Man's a Palace)
Peter, Paul & Mary
Capo 5
Simple fingerpicking
(Intro:)
/Am /Asus2 /Asus4 /Am
/Am /Asus2
Oh the magi were the prophets
/Asus4 /Am
And they wandered through the desert
/Dm
They saw the star above them
/Am /E
And they knew they'd find their way
/Am /Asus2
Through the valley of the shadow
/Asus4 /Am
With the hope of human kindness
/Dm
They were strengthened by the vision
/Am /E
Of a new and brighter day.
Chorus:
/C /G
And the wisemen spoke of peace on earth,
/E /Am
Of harmony and struggle
/F /C /F /G
Know you now a cycle's gone and a new one is revealed.
/C /G
In the weaving of your fingers
/E /Am
In the whisper of a love that's born again
/F /C
In the weaving of your fingers
/F /E
In a promise that we made that never ends.
(replay intro)
/Am /Asus2
Well now each man is a pilgrim,
/Asus4 /Am
Yes, we all must make the journey
/Dm /Am /E
And it seems that time is telling us to be all that we can
/Am /Asus2 /Asus4 /Am
To help lift up the fallen, we must sow the seeds of goodness
/Dm /Am /E
The torch is passed among us now to light the way of man.
/C /G
For the heart of man's a palace
/E /Am
And his dreams are as the sunlight
/F /C /F /G
They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold
/C /Am
As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon
/F /C /F /G
The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul
(Chorus)2x
/F /E
In a promise that we made that never ends.
/F /E
In a promise that we made that never ends.
