How Many Kings Tab

by Downhere


I think this version is more accurate than the previous ones. I pulled it from the live 
names may be wrong, but the fingering is correct, I believe. See the chord diagrams.

It's a beautiful song. Enjoy!

CAPO IV (note all chords and diagrams assume CAPO IV is nut)

Verse 1:
                    G2addC    
Follow the star to a place unexpected
                     EmaddC        
Would you believe after all we’ve projected
  
A child in a manger
                   G2addC     
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
               Em7addC              
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl

Just a child
                               
Is this who we’ve waited for?

Chorus:
                      G2addC           
How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
                  Em7addC        
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
                                         
How many greats have become the least for me?
                  G2addC          
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
                         Em7addC   
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
                                            
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Verse 2:
                         G2addC  
Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
                      EmaddC    
All that we have whether costly or meek

Because we believe
                     G2addC             
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
               EmaddC      
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
                                             
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
(It’s who we’ve waited for)


Bridge
                          
only one did that for me
                  
Ahhh, all for me, yeah
         
Oooohh, Ohhhhhh
                    
All for me, All for you
(repeat 4x)
