WOODSTOCK- Joni Mitchell

 EmI (022000@1)came upon a child of God
         AHe (x02220@1)was walking along the road

And I asked him "Where are you going?"
      EmAnd (022000@1)this he told me

"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
               AI'm (x02220@1)gonna join in a rock and roll band

I'm gonna camp out on the land
                    EmAnd (022000@1)try and get my soul free"

CHORUS #1:
          AWe (x02220@1)are stardust, we are golden
           Em (022000@1)          D (xx0232@1)               Em (022000@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A EmAnd (022000@1)we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
EmHuy (022000@1)do  do do do do do  huy do  do do do do do

Huy do  do do do do do  huy do  do do

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning ...CHORUS #1

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation ...

CHORUS #2:
We are stardust, billion year old carbon
We are golden, caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden


NOTE:  This are the piano chords for guitar, more or less.  The CSNY
version is quite different- I can't figure that version out at this point.
