VERSE 1
+8  -8    +7   -6 -7 +7 -7  -6
We three kings of  O-ri-ent are;
 +8  -8   +7   -6 -7   +7  -7 -6
Bear-ing gifts we tra-verse a-far.
 +7    +7  -8  -8    +8   +8  +9  -9 +8
Field and foun-tain, moor and moun-__tain,

Fol-low-ing yon-der star.

REFRAIN
-7 -8  +7  +7 +7  +6    +7  -6  +7
 O___ star of won-der, star of light,
 +7   +7  +7  +6 +7  -6    +7
Star with roy-al beau-ty bright,
 +7   +7   -8  +8    -9   +8  -8   +8
West-ward lead-ing, still pro-ceed-ing,
  +7  +7 +7 +6  +7   -6   +7
Guide us to thy per-fect light.


VERSE 2 (same tab as VERSE 1)
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

(repeat REFRAIN)

VERSE 3 (same tab as VERSE 1)
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshipping God on high.

(repeat REFRAIN)

VERSE 4 (same tab as VERSE 1)
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

(repeat REFRAIN)

VERSE 5 (same tab as VERSE 1)
Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds through the earth and skies.

(repeat REFRAIN)

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
