[Verse 1]
       D            Bm7
Those magic men the Magi
      Em7              A13 (no3)
Some people call them wise
   D         Bm7
Or Oriental, even kings
      Em7           A13 (no3)
Well anyway, those guys
      D           C6/9
They visited with Jesus
      G                  Bb
They sure enjoyed their stay
       F                         Bbmaj7
Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme
          Em7              A7sus
They went home by another way
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D D/F#    G    A7sus
Yes, they went home by another way
 Bm7  Bm7/A   E A7sus
Home by another way
       D                 Bm7
Maybe me and you can be wise guys too
       Em  D/F#  G  A7sus
And go home by another way
D               D9/F#
We can make it another way
G                 Bb
Safe home as they used to say
        A/D                  Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
       Em7 D/F# G G/A     D   D/F# G  A7sus  D   F A
And go home      another way
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D                Bm7
Steer clear of royal welcomes
  Em7         A13 (no3)
Avoid a big to-do
    D                             Bm7
A king who would slaughter the innocents
         Em7              A13 (no3)
Will not cut a deal for you
   D                          C6/9
He really, really wants those presents
       G                Bb
He'll comb your camel's fur
         F
'Til his boys announce
               Bbmaj7
They've found trace amounts
        Em7                    A7sus
Of your frankincense, gold and myrrh
 
 
[Chorus]
           D D/F#   G    A7sus
Time to go home by another way
 Bm7  Bm7/A   E A7sus
Home by another way
             D                         Bm7
You have to figure that God's saying, play the odds
       Em7 D/F#  G  A7sus
And go home by another way
D               D9/F#
We can make it another way
G                 Bb
Safe home as they used to say
        A/D                  Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
       Em7 D/F# G G/A     D
And go home      another way
 
 
[Interlude]
D D/F# G G/A D Em7 F Am7(b13) Bb
 
 
[Bridge]
Bb           C/E             F
Home is where they want you now
 C/E   Dm7          G7
You can more or less assume
               C               Am7  Bb
That you'll be welcomed in the end
               C/E      F             C/E
Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so
    Dm7
Or fantasize his features
            Em7           A7sus
When you're looking at a friend
 
 
[Verse 3]
           D                Bm7
Well, it pleasures me to be here
       Em7            A13 (no3)
And to sing this song tonight
        D                    Bm7
They tell me that life is a miracle
        Em7               A13 (no3)
And I figure that they're right
      D               C6/9
But Herod's always out there
      G               Bb
He's got our card on file
        F
It's a lead pipe cinch
        Bbmaj7
If you give an inch
      Em7                   A7sus
That Herod likes to take a mile
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D D/F# G G/A
It's best to go home by another way
Bm7  Bm7/A  E A7sus
Home by another way
    D                    Bm7
We got this far to the lucky star
      Em7        D/F#    G  G/A
But tomorrow is another day
D               D9/F#
We can make it another way
G                 Bb
Safe home as they used to say
        A/D                  Bm9
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high
        Em7 D/F# G G/A     D D/F# G G/A D/E F A
And go home       another way
    D    D/F#    G G/A  D  Em7  F  A  D
Go home another way
