Am E Am E
Am E Am E
[Verse 1]
AmDown at the Estation at Amone in the Emorning
There's a Amtrainload of Estrangers thaAmt just hit Etown
AmOne has a Etop hat and Amone has a Efalcon
And alAmthough they just aGrrived they know their Cway Ea—rAmound
[Verse 2]
AmOut to a Ehouse at the Amedge of the Etown
They're bringing AmThunderbird Ewine and a Ampound of Ehash
AmC'mon alEong if you're Amone of the Epeople
Because we're Amgonna get the Gspirit down at the CHooEdoo AmBash
[Chorus 1]
AAll the wizards Abfrom the south
GCame up special for the Ebig turnout
CGolden Blossom, FSinging Bear
They're Egoing to have a party and they E7just don't care
[Verse 3]
AmFasten your Eseat belts, Amlet down your Ehair
Because Amtonight is the nEight we've been Amwaiting Efor
AmPeople in Etrances and AmAfrican Edances
AnAmother kind of Glife is waiting behCind Ethat Amdoor
[Verse 4]
AmWe got supplEies that will Amlast for a Eweek
So there ain't Amnothing can Estop us untAmil we Ecrash
AmWhen we have Ekids, we will Amtell them the Estory
'Bout the Amnight we got the Gspirit at the CHooEdoo AmBash

AMagic mushrooms from AbSinging Bear
GIndian visions that'll Ecurl your hair
And CGolden Blossom sFaid she'd make
Her Edandelion wine and E7morning glory cake
[Verse 5]
AmTell all your Efriends that you're Amgone out of Etown
And be prepAmared to go Eout of your Amnatural Emind
AmWe're gonna Erise when the Amsun's going Edown
When the Amspirit starts to Ghit you'll never Cknow what Eyou'll Amfind
[Verse 6]
AmIf you're Eafraid, then you Ambetter stay Ehome
'Cause there's Amno turning Eback once the Amdice are Ecast
AmLovers and Estrangers will Amall go thru Echanges
When they Amget the good, old Gspirit down at the CHooEdoo AmBash.

Am E Am E

[Verse 1]

Am E Am E

Down at the station at one in the morning

There's a trainload of strangers that just hit town

One has a top hat and one has a falcon

Am G C E Am

And although they just arrived they know their way a—round

[Verse 2]

Out to a house at the edge of the town

They're bringing Thunderbird wine and a pound of hash

C'mon along if you're one of the people

Because we're gonna get the spirit down at the Hoodoo Bash

All the wizards from the south

They're going to have a party and they just don't care

[Verse 3]

Am E Am E

Fasten your seat belts, let down your hair

Am E Am E

Because tonight is the night we've been waiting for

Am E Am E

People in trances and African dances

Am G C E Am

Another kind of life is waiting behind that door

[Verse 4]

Am E Am E

We got supplies that will last for a week

Am E Am E

So there ain't nothing can stop us until we crash

When we have kids, we will tell them the story

We're gonna rise when the sun's going down

When the spirit starts to hit you'll never know what you'll find

[Verse 6]

If you're afraid, then you better stay home

Am E Am E

'Cause there's no turning back once the dice are cast

Lovers and strangers will all go thru changes
