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

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 ...
