 G minorGm
I came upon a child of God
         C minorCm
He was walking along the road

When I asked him "Where are you going "
         G minorGm
this he told me

"I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
             C minorCm
Think I'll join a rock and roll band

I'll camp out on the land
                    G minorGm
I'll try and set my soul free"

CHORUS
          C minorCm            G minorGm      (Riff A= Bb majorBb A augmentedA G+G x4)
We are stardust, we are golden
          G minorGm            Bb majorBb                  A minorAm
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden


Break 1
G minorGm //// Bb majorBb // G minorGm /// (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 ...
