verse 1: 

D9                     Dsus              G                 F 
Well, I came upon a child of God, he was walking down the road, 

       G                  F                          D 
And I asked him,"Brother whe're ya going?" this he told me: 

D9                        Dsus             G 
' said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm, going to join in a rock and roll  
 F 
band 

G                         F                     D 
Going to camp out on the land, ' try to set my soul free 




        Cmaj9                Dsus            Cmaj9             Dsus 
We are stardust, and we are golden, we are million year old carbon, 

        F             C                 G F Dsus 
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden, ya 


verse 2: 

D9                     Dsus             G               F 
Well, then can I walk beside you? I've come to lose my smog 

     G                   F                  Dsus 
Now feeling as if I'm a cog in something turning 

        D9              Dsus              G                     F 
Yes and maybe it's the time of year, and maybe it's the time of man 

       G                F                     Dsus 
And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning 




        Cmaj9             Dsus          Cmaj9              Dsus 
We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon, 

       F             C                 G F  Dsus 
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden 


verse 3: 

 D9                    Dsus               G               F 
By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half-a-million strong, 

     G                F                Dsus 
And everywhere was a song and a celebration, ya 

      D9                      Dsus                 G              F 
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death ships flying shotgun in the sky, ya 

 G               F                   Dsus 
Turning into butterflies above our nation 




        Cmaj9            Dsus           Cmaj9                  Dsus 
We are stardust, we are golden, we are caught in the devil's bargain, 
  
        F            C                 G F Dsus 
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden 

            Cmaj9             Dsus           Cmaj9            Dsus 
Yes, we are stardust, we are golden, we are million year old carbon, 

       F             C                 G F Dsus 
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
