Well I came upon a child of God

Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.

Well then, can I walk beside you?

I have come here to lose the smog,

Gm
By the time we got to Woodstock,
G7 C Csus4
We were half a million strong
C Csus4 Gm
And everywhere was song and a celebration.
Gm
And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
G7 C Csus4
Riding shotgun in the sky,
C Csus4
Turning into butterflies
Gm
Above our nation.
C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are caught in a devils bargain
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
