Better late than never - I was just singing this and wanted to check for the words,but here's what I remember:

[C] Here I am back [F] home again
[C]I'm here to [G] rest
[C] Everyone asks me [F} where I've been
[G] Knowing I've been [C] West

Chorus:
[F] I'm the family's [Em] unowned boy
[F] Golden curls of[C] envied hair
[C] Pretty girls with [Dm] faces fair
[G] see the shining [C] Black Sheep Boy

2nd verse

"If you love me, let me live in peace,
try to understand
That the black sheep wears the golden fleece
and holds the winning hand"

I lent Tim a guitar for a gig in Montreal a long time ago..he had crossed the border travelling light... he had a lot of other verses to many of his songs that didn't make it to vinyl.
I remember a 20 minute version of 'Carpenter' with all these extra and fine verses.
He wasn't all junked up at the time and did a great solo show. Was fun hanging out with him backstage, but he was complaining that I didn't have finger picks to go with the old Gibson and that the use of metal finger picks on the 6 -string was becoming a dying art..

he put quite a few dings on the top near the neck with a thumbpick, so I was glad he had to use his nails for the rest.... still owes me a set of strings... small price for a brush with greatness.... what a singer !
