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 C                 6(9)
They visited with Jesus
G                           A#
They sure enjoyed their stay

They went home by another way

And go home by another way

We can make it another way

Safe home as they used to say

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

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
