Woodstock
Joni Mitchell / Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: Déjà Vu (1970)
E | E7 | A7 | A7/g | |
Well I | came across a | child of God, He was | walking along the | road; |
A7 | A7/g | E | E7 | |
When I | asked him: "Tell me where are you | going?" -- This he | told me: |
E | E7 | A7 | A7/g | |
Said "I am | going down to | Yasgur's farm -- Going to | join in a rock and roll | band |
A7 | A7/2 | E | E7 | |
Got to | get back to the | land -- To set my | soul free!" |
A7/g | E7 | A7/g | E7 | |
We are | stardust, we are | golden -- We are | billion year old | carbon, |
G | D | A | A7/g | E7 | |
And we've | got to get our | selves back to the | ga- | ar- | den! |
Well then can I roam beside you? I have come to lose my smog, |
And I feel myself a cog -- In something turning. |
And maybe it's the time of year, Yes, and maybe it's the time of man! |
And I don't know who I am -- But life is for learning. |
We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
Solo
We are stardust, we are golden -- We are billion year old carbon, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong; |
And everywhere there was a song -- And a celebration. |
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes -- Riding shotgun in the sky, |
Turning into butterflies -- Above our nation. |
We are stardust, we are golden, We are caught in the devil's bargain, |
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden! |
