CAPO ON SIX OR SEVEN!!!
(it sounds fine on either, just see which suits your vocal range best.
It does sound good on lower frets too.)
These chords are a somewhat easier to sing cover for the video version of
Joni performing Woodstock live on BBC in 1970...it's very easy to find on
the internet and a great performance.
I tried and tried to find some of these chord names with chordbook, but when
i searched the chord names it gave me it came up with differnet finger
placements...so here is a chord chart and I'm sorry if the names don't match
properly!

[Verse 1]
Em
I came upon a child of God
D Dsus
He was walking along the road
D Dsus
I asked him, where are you going?
Em
And this he told me
Em
I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
D Dsus
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
D Dsus Em
Get camp out on the land and get my soul free.
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Gmaj Cmaj7/E
We are stardust, we are golden,
Em Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Verse 2]
Em
So can I walk beside you?
D Dsus
I've come here to lose the smog,
D Dsus Em
I feel to be a cog in something turning.
Em
Maybe it's just the time of year,
D Dsus
Maybe it's the time of man.
D Dsus Em
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Gmaj Cmaj7/E
We are stardust, we are golden,
Em Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Verse 3]
Em
By the time we got to Woodstock,
D Dsus
We were half a million strong
D Dsus Em
And Everywhere there was song and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
D Dsus
Riding shotgun in the sky,
D Dsus
Turning into butterflies
Em
Above our nation.
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Em
We are stardust, billion year old carbon,
Gmaj Cmaj7/E
we are golden
Em
Caught in a devils bargain
Em Cadd9 Asus4/E Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
