Lyrics

She said to me, “Go stead y on me.

Won’t you tell me what the (A)wise men said when they came down from Hea ven, smoked nine till sev en all the shit that they could find?

But they could n’t es cape from you, could n’t be free of you, and now they know there’s no way out, and they’re real ly sor ry now for what they’ve done; they were three wise men just try ing to have some fun.”

Look who’s a lone now: it’s not me, it’s not me.

Those three wise (C)men, they’ve got a (G)se mi by the sea.

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

“Real ly ry now, they weren’t to know; they got caught up in your (A)ta lent show, with you per nick et y lit tle tards in your fan cy dress, who just judge each oth er and try to im press.

could n’t es cape from you, could n’t be free of you, and now they know there’s no way out, and they’re real ly sor ry now for what they’ve done; they were three wise men just try ing to have some fun.”

Look who’s a lone now: it’s not me, it’s not me.

Those three wise (C)men, they’ve got a (G)se mi by the sea.

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

(G)where are you now?

(G)Where are you now?

(G)Where are you now?

(G)Where are you now?

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

Got ta ask your (F)self the ques tion, (G)where are you now?

Why does the accompaniment for "Wisemen" show falling notes?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Wisemen" by James Blunt in?
