~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D G D Where have you been my bright-eyed son D A Oh where have you been my pious young one? G/D A/D D I’ve emerged from a rock on a great fertile mountain G/D A/D D I’ve ransacked in hell and I’ve worked in the stables G/D A/D D I’ve eaten my fill of the peaches in heaven G/D A/D D I’ve crossed a great sea on the back of a turtle G/D A/D D I’ve saved and I’ve ruined a land that’s on fire D A And it’s been a long, it’s been a long, D G it’s been a long, it’s been a long- D A D journey to the west (7 beats)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D G D Oh what did you see my bright-eyed son D A Oh what did you see my pious young one G/D A/D D I saw a great feast for my friends and my family G/D A/D D Saw a shining bright palace it was full of elixirs G/D A/D D Saw a fiend dressed in yellow paint a new precious image G/D A/D D Saw a greenish black body with hair red like scarlet. G/D A/D D Saw the empty and pure being tortured for water G/D A/D D Saw the barbarous ways of the wicked and greedy G/D A/D D Saw the scrolls without words we were too dim to read them D A And it’s been a long, it’s been a long, D G it’s been a long, it’s been a long- D A D journey to the west (7 beats)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D G D And what did you hear my bright-eyed son D A Oh And what did you hear my pious young one G/D A/D D I heard a great whooping upon my arrival G/D A/D D Heard my thunderous army it was braying and laughing G/D A/D D Heard my master demand of me peace and forgiveness G/D A/D D Heard the snorts and the rants of a swine in a castle G/D A/D D Heard the woodcutter laugh as he gave us fair warning G/D A/D D Heard the sigh of a woman reluctant to help us G/D A/D D Heard the wailing of boys numbered more than a thousand G/D A/D D Heard a merciful mouth speak the truth with great mercy D A And it’s been a long, it’s been a long, D G it’s been a long, it’s been a long- D A D journey to the west (7 beats)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D G D Oh what did you meet my bright-eyed son D A Oh and who did you meet my pious young one G/D A/D D I met many wise men who who were full of dumb riddles G/D A/D D I met a wet horse at the bottom of the ocean G/D A/D D I met a large hand that did grip me tightly G/D A/D D I met a young man he was bald and annoying G/D A/D D I met an old friend, we did not smooth it over. G/D A/D D I met the North Star he had lost his pet deer D A And it’s been a long, it’s been a long, D G it’s been a long, it’s been a long- D A D journey to the west (7 beats)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D G D And what’ll you do now my bright-eyed son D A And what’ll you do now my pious young one G/D A/D D I’m going back west where the wind’s light and fragrant G/D A/D D I’ll walk back through a land so mendacious and cruel G/D A/D D Where for fourteen short years I was pounded and pestled G/D A/D D Where the rulers are stupid with no hope of deliverance G/D A/D D Where a pilgrim is told that he’ll never be welcome G/D A/D D Where the spirits that rule do it solely with process G/D A/D D Where the demons that work do it only for profit G/D A/D D Where I’ve longed for a freedom that I found in the sunlight G/D A/D D And I’ll know it and chant it and breathe it and be it G/D A/D D And reflect from the mountain so that all souls can see it G/D A/D D Then I’ll stand with the others in the glimmering pure land G/D A/D D But I’ll know that too few will surmount a great struggle D A And it’s been a long, it’s been a long, D G it’s been a long, it’s been a long- D A D journey to the west (7 beats)
