[Verse 1]
Dm
I traveled darkness,
Dm                      Am             Dm
I traveled darkness in search for the light.
         Gm
But no star was ever rising.
                Dm
Will it rise tonight,
                Dm
Will it rise tonight?

[Chorus]
    Dm                    Dm
No wisemen’s wisdom, out here on the street.
  (humm)                (humm)
     Dm
No shepherd to talk to,
   (humm)
  Am          Dm       Am           Dm     Dm
 No   angels singing. No    angels singing.
(humm)      (humm)   (humm)       (humm)

I traveled darkness,
Dm                      Am             Dm        Am             Dm
I traveled darkness in search for the light.
                                            (In search for the light.)
         Gm
But no star was ever rising.
                Dm             Am     Dm
Will it rise tonight?
                     (Will it rise tonight?)

[Chorus]
    Dm                    Dm
No wisemen’s wisdom, out here on the street.
  (humm)                (humm)
     Dm
No shepherd to talk to,
   (humm)
  Am          Dm       Am           Dm     Dm
 No   angels singing. No    angels singing.
(humm)      (humm)   (humm)       (humm)

[Verse 4]
      Dm
Your candles are burning,
        Dm
but my bones are freezing cold.
     Dm
In search for the child,
          Am            Dm             Am            Dm    Dm  Dm Dm
but the child has been sold.

       F
Don’t tell me the story.
       Am
Don’t tell it again.
   Gm                     Bb
Unless your hands do the talking, my friend.
   F                     Am
A seat at your table, a sip of your wine.
        Gm            Bb
just a little bit and I’ll be fine.
    F
No room for a stranger,
    Am                Gm
no room for surprise.
      Bb
Cause I am a king.
Bb                Dm               Dm
I am a king in a beggar’s disguise.
