NOTES:
This song is a reggae version of Clarence In Wonderland, that turned up as
a B-side to "Oh, Wot A dream" in Nov 1972. 
KA used to claim boredom at having to sing all the verses of CIW (well, he
shouldn't have written so many!), so tended to shorten the song.
I expect a reggae version was an attempt to keep things fresh.

The rhythm for the VERSEs is shown in Guitar Figure 1 and is just repeated.

C/G                       F           G          C/G  F - G
Sitting on the beach like Clarence in Wonderland (Uh huh)
C/G                 F               G           C/G  F - G
I had a dream and I know you'll all understand
C/G                     F           G      C/G  F - G
Riding up the beach, it only took a moment
 C/G              F           G         C/G  F - G
Along came a lady looking for amusement
C/G                   F              G       C/G  F - G
She came up to me and everything was smiling
    C/G                         F              G      C/G  F - G
And then she said something, it sounded like a violin

C/G
Let's go to my chateau, we could have a good time, 
Drinking lots of sky wine
C/G    B      Bb    A            F
  Miss Juliet Kate, Queen of the Moon
            C
We're gonna get there soon
      E
Gonna get there soon
Gonna get there soon


VERSE:
Suddenly my eyes were popping and jumping (Good Heavens...!)
I don't know why but I must have taken something (Yes, that's what it was...)
Juliet's face was screaming with lightning (You know what that means...)
I couldn't see myself, it was very very frightening
I knew I had to leave and I had to do it my way (My Way...)
That was very strange 'cos there wasn't any highway (Or low way...)
