    Verse 1
    I slept 
    through 
    the Nineteen 
    Sixties, 

    I 
    heard 
    Dory 
    Previn say 

    But 
    me 
    I 
    caught 
    me 
    the great 
    white 
    bird, 

    to the 
    shores 
    of 
    Africay 

    Where I 
    lost 
    my 
    adolescent 
    heart, 

    to 
    the sound 
    of 
    a talking 
    drum 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 
    West 
    of 
    Vietnam 

    Verse 2
    And 
    on 
    the 
    roads 
    outside 
    Oshogbo, Lord 

    I fell 
    down 
    on 
    my knees 

    There 
    were 
    female 
    spirits 
    in 
    old 
    mud 
    huts, 

    iron 
    bells 
    ringing 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    trees 

    And 
    an 
    eighty- 
    year- 
    old 
    white 
    priest, 

    she 
    made 
    juju 
    all 
    night 
    long 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 
    West 
    of 
    Vietnam 

    Verse 3
    Raise 
    high 
    the 
    roof 
    beams 
    carpenter 
    boy, 

    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, 

    that 
    I 
    learned 
    to carve 
    my 
    song 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 
    West 
    of 
    Vietnam 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Oh 
    Africa, 
    Mother 
    Africa, 

    you 
    lay 
    heavy 
    on 
    my 
    breast 

    You 
    old 
    cradle 
    of 
    civilization, 

    heart 
    of 
    darkness 
    blood 
    and 
    death 

    Verse 5

    Though 
    we 
    had 
    to 
    play 
    you 
    running 
    scared, 

    when 
    the crocodile 
    ate 
    the sun 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 

    West 
    of 
    Viet
    nam 

    Verse 6

    Well 
    I think 
    it's 
    going 
    to rain 
    tonight, 

    I 
    can smell 
    it 
    coming 
    off 
    the sea 

    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, 

    and 
    it's 
    sundown 
    and 
    boys 
    I'm 
    gone 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 
    West 
    of 
    Vietnam 

    Verse 7
    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, 

    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 
    West 
    of 
    Vietnam. 

    Verse 8
    Yeah, 
    East 
    of 
    Woodstock, 

    West 
    of 
    Vietnam

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
