Intro: Am
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
G Am G F
When its time for letting go
G Am G F
Last night I heard them say
C G D
Noooo, we will never let that happen again
F G Am
But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem
F G Am
Yes its a long long way from here to Bethlehem
Am G F
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
Sometimes we never know
G Am G F
When its time for letting go
G Am G F
Last night I heard them say
C G D
Noooo, we will never let that happen again
F G Am
But its a long long way from here to Bethlehem
A D E A
Much has changed in the modern world
A D E A
There's no time for the long ago
A D E F#m
Many problems that we have
F G A
Are from the greatest story ever told
Am
And its a long long way to Bethlehem
Am
Its a long long way to Bethlehem
Am
Its a long long way to Bethlehem
Am
Its a long long way
