[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[A] [E] I slept through the 1960s I heard Dori Prellin say
But me I called me the great white wolf To the shores of Africa
[B] [E] Where I lost my adolescent heart To the sound of a talking drum
East of Woodstock, [B] West of [E] Vietnam On [A] [E] the roads outside of Chopeville
[A] Lord, I fell down on my knees [E] There were female spirits in old mud huts
Iron bells ringing [B] up in the trees [E] And an 80-year-old white priestess
[A] Made choo-choo all night long [E] East of Woodstock, [B] West of [E] Vietnam
Raise [A] high, Lord of Pene, carpenter boy We're [E] coming through the ride
In the cinema I watched the man on the moon I laughed so [B] hard I cried
But it [E] was somewhere in the rainy seasons [A] I learned to carve my songs
East [E] of [B]
Woodstock, West of [E] Vietnam Oh, [B] [A] [E]

Africa, Mother Africa
You lay heavy on my breath You old cradle of civilization
Heart of [F#] darkness, [B] blood and dew [E] But we had to flee running scared
When the crocodile ate the sun Lord, East of Woodstock, [B] West of [E] Vietnam
I think it's gonna rain tonight [A] I can smell it coming off the stage
[E] As I sit here reading old Graham Greene I taste Africa [B] on every page
And then I [E] close my eyes and see the red clay roads
[A] Of sundown and, boys, I'm gone
[E] East of Woodstock, [B] West of [E] Vietnam
Raise [A] high, Lord of Pene, carpenter boy
[E] We're coming through the ride
It was a movable feast, a war in memory A dark old [B] lullaby
It [E] was the smoke of a thousand cook fires It [A] was the wrong end of a gun
[E] Yeah, East of Woodstock, West of Vietnam
Hey, [A] [E] East of Woodstock, [B] West of [E] Vietnam
