Em
I came upon a child of God
Am
he was walking down the road,
when I asked him "where are you going?"
Em
This he told me;
"I'm going down to Yasgur's farm,
Am
Think I'll join a rock and roll band,
Em
I'll camp out on the land, I'll try set my soul free."
Am Em
We are stardust, we are golden
Am G
and we've got to get ourselves
F#m
back to the garden.
Well then can I walk beside you?
Am
I have come here to lose the smog
Em
and I feel just like a cog in something turning.
Well maybe it's the time of year
Am
or maybe it's the time of man,
Em
and I don't know who I am but life's for learning.
Am Em
We are stardust, we are golden
Am G
and we've got to get ourselves
F#m
back to the garden.
By the time I got to Woodstock,
Am
they were half a million strong,
Em
everywhere there were songs and celebrations.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Am
riding shotgun in the sky,
Em
turning into butterflies above our nation.
Am Em
We are stardust, we are golden
Am G
and we've got to get ourselves
F#m
back to the garden. repeat to fade out / ad lib as you want
