Verse 1
E
I slept through the Nineteen Sixties,
A
I heard Dory Previn say
E
But me I caught me the great white bird,
B
to the shores of Africay
E
Where I lost my adolescent heart,
A
to the sound of a talking drum
E
B
Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam

Verse 2
B
A
E
And on the roads outside Oshogbo, Lord
A
I fell down on my knees
E
There were female spirits in old mud huts,
B
iron bells ringing up in the trees
E
And an eighty- year- old white priest,
A
she made juju all night long
E
B
Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam
E
Verse 3
A
Raise high the roof beams carpenter boy,
E
yeah we're coming through the rye
In the cinema I saw the man on the moon,

I laughed so hard I cried

It was somewhere in those rainy seasons,
A
that I learned to carve my song
E
B
Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam

you lay heavy on my breast

You old cradle of civilization,
heart of darkness blood and death

Though we had to play you running scared,

when the crocodile ate the sun

Verse 6
Well I think it's going to rain tonight,
A
I can smell it coming off the sea
E
As I sit here reading old Graham Greene

I taste Africa on every page

Then I close my eyes and see
those red clay roads,
A
and it's sundown and boys I'm gone
E

Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam

Raise high the roof beams carpenter boy,

yeah we're coming through the rye
It was a moveable feast of war and memory,
a dark old lullaby

It was the smoke of a thousand camp fires,

it was the wrong end of a gun,
E

Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam.
