Cm Gm (Riff A= Bb A G x4)
We are stardust, we are golden
Gm Bb Am
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden
Break 1
Gm //// Bb // Gm /// (with short lead over)
Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel just like 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 life is for learning ...
CHORUS
Break 1
By the time I got to Woodstock
They were half a million strong
everywhere there was songs and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
turning into butterflies
Above our nation ...
