Enjoy!!!!
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Thanks Joni!
