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,

to the shores of Africay
E
Where I lost my adolescent heart,
A
to the sound of a talking drum
E

Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam

Verse 2
B

E
And on the roads outside Oshogbo, Lord
A
I fell down on my knees

There were female spirits in old mud huts,

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,

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

Verse 6
Well I think it's going to rain tonight,
A
I can smell it coming off the sea

those red clay roads,

and it's sundown and boys I'm gone

Raise high the roof beams carpenter boy,

a dark old lullaby
