As others have told you, a database is the outer bound for any query.
What you could try to do, is to have a fourth database and replicate
from the three others to this fourth database. Then you would have a
database where you could run your query. Maybe this fourth database
also could act as a "disaster copy" in case any of the three other
databases crashed and there were no recent backup available, but I
know far too little about replication to say if that is possible.
Another option to consider, is to simply use one database and not
three separate ones.
