James Blunt – Wisemen
Key: F Major BPM: ♩ = 76 Time: 4/4
|Gm    Dm    |F    C    |Gm    Dm    |F    C    |
|Gm    Dm    |F    C    |Gm    Dm    |F    C    |

|Gm              Dm                |F                            C             |
   She said to me, "Go steady on me”, won't you tell me what the wise men said?
         |Gm                     Dm                  |F                           C         |
When they   came down from Heaven, smoked nine 'til seven, all the shit that they could find
        |Gm                        Dm                        |
But they   couldn't escape from you,  couldn’t be free of you
|F                           C         |
   And now they know there's no way out
           |Bbadd9                                  |
And they're   really sorry now for what they've done
               |Csus4                   C            |
They were three wise men just trying to have some fun

|Cm            Eb                |Bb           F   |
   Look who's alone now, it’s not me, it's not me
|Cm                 Eb                |Bb          F   |
   Those three wise men, they’ve got a semi by the sea
|Cm              Eb                |Bb            F   |
   Gotta ask yourself the question, where are you now?
|Cm              Eb                |Bb            F   |
   Gotta ask yourself the question, where are you now?

|Gm                      Dm                         |F                 C          |
   Really sorry now, they  weren't to know, they got caught up in your talent show
           |Gm                            Dm           |
With you pernickety little rascals in your  fancy dress
        |F                    C             |
Who just judge each other and try to impress
        |Gm                        Dm                       |
But they   couldn't escape from you, couldn’t be free of you
|F                           C         |
   And now they know there's no way out
           |Bbadd9                                  |
And they’re   really sorry now for what they've done
