[Verse]
       D            Bm7
Those magic men the Magi
      Em7           A13(no3)
Some people call them wise
      D            Bm7
Or Oriental, even kings
      Em7        A13(no3)
Well anyway, those guys
      D           C6(9)
They visited with Jesus
      G                  A#
They sure enjoyed their stay
       F                         A#maj7
Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme
         Em7            A7sus
They went home by another way
                 D D/F#    G    A7sus
Yes, they went home by another way
 Bm7  Bm7/A   E A7sus
Home by another way
       D                 Bm7
Maybe me and you can be wise guys to
     Em  D/F#  G  A7sus
And go home by another way
      D           F#m7(b5,b13)
We can make it another way
      G            A#
Safe home as they used to say
          A/D                  Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
 
     Em7 D/F# G G/A   D   D/F# G  A7sus  D   F A
And go  home     another way
      D                Bm7
Steer clear of royal welcomes
  Em7         A13(no3)
Avoid a big to-do
    D                             Bm7
A king who would slaughter the innocents
         Em7              A13(no3)
Will not cut a deal for you
       D                      C6(9)
He really, really wants those presents
       G                A#
He'll comb your camel's fur
          F
Until his boys announce
               A#maj7
They've found trace amounts
            Em7                 A7sus
Of your frankincense, gold and myrrh
 
        D D/F#    G    A7sus
And they go home by another way
 
 Bm7  Bm7/A   E A7sus
Home by another way
               D                     Bm7
You have to figure the Gods, saying play the odds
    Em7 D/F# G  A7sus
And go home by another way
D                 F#m7(b5,b13)
We can make it another way
    G                  A#
Safe home as they used to say
           A/D                  Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
   Em7 D/F# G G/A D
And go home another way
 
 
[Interlude]
D D/F# G G/A D Em7 F Am7(b13) A#
 
 
A#           C/E             F
Home is where they want you now
 C/E   Dm7          G7
You can more or less assume
               C              Am7  A#
That you'll be welcome in the end
               C/E      F              C/E
Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so
    Dm7
Or fantasize his features
            Em7           A7sus
When you're looking at a friend
           D               Bm7
Well it pleasures me to be here
       Em7            A13(no3)
And to sing this song tonight
        D                    Bm7
They tell me that life is a miracle
        Em7                A13(no3)
And I figured that they're right
      D               C6(9)
But Herod's always out there
      G                A#
He's got our cards on file
         F
It's a lead pipe cinch
         A#maj7
If we give an inch
     Em7                 A7sus
Old Herod likes to take a mile
                 D D/F# G G/A
It's best to go home by another way
 
Bm7  Bm7/A  E A7sus
Home by another way
    D                    Bm7
We got this far to a lucky star
 
     Em7 D/F# G G/A
But tomorrow is another day
        D             F#m7(b5,b13)
We can make it another way
 G                 A#
Safe home as they used to say
        A/D                Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
        Em7 D/F# G G/A           D D/F# G G/A D/E F A
And go home          another way
    D D/F# G G/A      D Em7 F A D
Go home another way
