  • The WOGSTOCK Song  
    written by Rick Vanover (© 1997 Rick Vanover)  

  • Intro: [C] [G] [C]

    [C]Well, they call him the 'Wise Old Geezer'
    And he's s[F]haring his heart and m[C]ind.
    He says, "A[F]ny friend who's a f[C]riend of
    John's is bound to be a friend of m[G]ine.[G7}
    And they're s[F]leep'n on the f[C]loors.
    And they're s[F]leep'n in the h[C]all.
    So much t[F]alk'n to do and f[C]at to chew
    Don't t[G]hink they're really sleep'n at a[C]ll.

    {chorus}
    [C]Hey, C[F]yber friends - [G]Welcome to W[C]ogstock.
    We're w[F]all to wall
    Hope y[G]ou all brought some c[C]lean socks.
    Well, i[F]t's a big time j[G]amm'n to Prine.
    T[C]rad'n old stories and s[F]ongs.
    Hey, C[C]yber friends - [G]Welcome to W[C]ogstock.
    [F] [G] [C]
    {end chorus}

    There's Space Monkey play'n his guitar
    And Barbara Lewis is sing'n along.
    Sam Stone's stand'n in the corner alone
    He forgot the words to the song.
    And everybody has a story -
    'Bout how far they have come,
    Since the first time they heard Prine
    Sing'n 'Paradise' on the run.

    -repeat chorus-

    Well, there's a candle in the window.
    I hear Indiana's on the line.
    And Geezer's call'n all the faithful
    To gather in the name of Prine.
    They're roar'n down the highways.
    And scream'n through the air.
    May lose a job to answer the call -
    Don't thing they really care.

    -repeat chorus-

    -repeat last verse of chorus-
    [G] [C]
