The Magi (The Heart of Man s a Palace)
Peter, Paul & Mary
Capo 5
Simple fingerpicking
(Intro:)
/ / / /
/ /
Oh the magi were the prophets
/ /
And they wandered through the desert
/
They saw the star above them
/ /
And they knew they d find their way
/ /
Through the valley of the shadow
/ /
With the hope of human kindness
/
They were strengthened by the vision
/ /
Of a new and brighter day.
Chorus:
/ /
And the wi spoke of peace on earth,
/ /
Of harmony and struggle
/ / / /
Know you now a cycle s gone and a new one is revealed.
/ /
In the weaving of your fingers
/ /
In the whisper of a love that s born again
/ /
In the weaving of your fingers
/ /
In a promise that we made that never ends.
(replay intro)
/ /
Well now each man is a pilgrim,
/ /
Yes, we all must make the journey
/ / /
And it seems that time is telling us to be all that we can
/ / / /
To help lift up the fallen, we must sow the seeds of goodness
/ / /
The torch is passed among us now to light the way of man.
/ /
For the heart of man s a palace
/ /
And his dreams are as the sunlight
/ / / /
They burn away the darkness, as they warm the freezing cold
/ /
As an eagle flying higher, as a river through the canyon
/ / / /
The diamond star shines down upon, a pathway to the soul
(Chorus)2x
/ /
In a promise that we made that never ends.
/ /
In a promise that we made that never ends.
