- That Eastern wind is getting near,
-
- There's a shotgun beside my bed,
- This is my country, where I was born and bred,
- But I am sure, as the willow will grow,
- That Eastern wind is going to blow,
-

Em C D Em
- Blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind,
- D
Em C D Em D
- Running away with my life, Eastern wind;
-
- There's a woman who reads the stars,
- She sees Warlords on the planet Mars,
- And she said, "Boy, you'd better beware,
- That restless wind is getting near,
-
- Blowing a hole in your life, Eastern wind,
- Running away with your life, Eastern wind..."
-
- C B7
- They are coming, they are coming,
-
G
- they are coming, look out!
-
- In my dream, I saw a crowd,
- They were burning the palace down,
- I saw a mad old man, and I ran to the door,
- And then that wind began to roar,
-
- And when they come, they'll find me here,
- I will not run, they will not see my fear,
- And I will fight to the very end,
- Before that wind I will never bend,
-
- If they're blowing a hole in my life, Eastern wind,
- Oh running away with my life, Eastern wind,
- Taking the plough from my hands, Eastern wind,
- Taking every bit of my land, Eastern wind...
