Verse 2
C And on the roads outside Oshogbo F Lord, I fell down on my knees C There were female spirits in old mud huts G Iron bells ringing up in the trees C And an eighty-year-old white priestess F She made juju all night long C G C G F Yeah, east of Woodstock, west of Vietnam
Chorus
F Raise high the roof beams, carpenter boy C Yeah, we’re coming through the rye In the cinema I saw the man on the moon G I laughed so hard I cried C It was somewhere in those rainy seasons F That I learned to carve my song C G C G F C G F C G F Yeah, east of Woodstock, west of Vietnam

Well, I think it’s going to rain tonight

It’s sundown, and boys, I’m gone
