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 ourselves 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!
