Three Kings

F Once upon a time Fm In three different castles G With three different kings G Who appointed their vassals F To find something beautiful Am G Bring it right back to their thrones F Am One found the ocean and bottled a jar G One found the earth and he shoveled it hard F Am G One found the sky and he breathed in and didn't exhale F Am Now back to their kingdoms they brought what they found G Expecting applause, but the kings made no sound F Am G "Why have you brought me something that I've seen beforе? Dm I wanted something beautiful Am G F Not somеthing that's already mine" Em F Em Dm Hard to find F Leaving in anger Am On three different journeys G C The kings went in search of a beauty deemed worthy F Am G Meanwhile the vassals would stay and watch over their thrones F Fmaj7 Am One king sailed the ocean and drowned in the tide G One dug the earth and was buried alive F Am G One found the sky and then fell from the highest of heights F Am Now up into heaven, their spirits would go G Expecting a welcome, but God told them no F Am G "Why have you brought me something that I've seen before? Dm You wanted something beautiful Am G F I'd given you all that and more" Em F C Dm
