[VERSE 1:]
G+G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA long, long time ago
A minorAm C majorC
In a galaxy far away
E minorEm D MajorD
Naboo was under an attack
G+G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
A minorAm C majorC
Could talk the federation into
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Maybe cutting them a little slack
E minorEm A minorAm
But their response, it didn't thrill us
E minorEm A minorAm
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
C majorC G+G A minorAm
We escaped from that gas
C majorC D MajorD
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
We took a bongo from the scene
Am7Am7 D MajorD
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
We all wound up on Tatooine
C majorC D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G
That's where we found this boy...
[CHORUS:]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
E minorEm A7A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
E minorEm D7D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 2:]
G+G A minorAm
Did you know this junkyard slave
C majorC A minorAm
Isn't even old enough to shave
E minorEm D MajorD
But he can use the Force, they say
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Am7Am7 C majorC
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
E minorEm A7A7 D MajorD
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
E minorEm D MajorD
Well, I know he built C-3PO
E minorEm D MajorD
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
C majorC G+G A7A7
And we were broke, it's true
C majorC D7D7
So we made a wager or two
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
A minorAm C majorC
And the minute Jabba started off that race
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Well, I knew who would win first place
C majorC D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G
Oh yes, it was our boy
D7D7
We started singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
My my this here Anakin guy
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
E minorEm A7A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
E minorEm D7D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 3:]
G+G A minorAm
Now we finally got to Coruscant
C majorC A minorAm
The Jedi Council we knew would want
E minorEm D MajorD
To see how good the boy could be
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
So we took him there and we told the tale
Am7Am7 C majorC
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
E minorEm A7A7 D MajorD
And he might fulfill that prophecy
E minorEm D MajorD
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
E minorEm D MajorD
Could he bring balance to the Force?
C majorC G+G A7A7
They interviewed the kid
C majorC D7D7
Oh, training they forbid
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
A minorAm C majorC
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Just stick it in your pointy ear
C majorC D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G
I still will teach this boy"
D7D7
He was singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
My my this here Anakin guy
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
E minorEm A7A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
E minorEm D7D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 4:]
G+G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
We caught a ride back to Naboo
A minorAm C majorC
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
E minorEm D MajorD
I frankly would've liked to stay
G+G D MajorD E minor 7Em7
We all fought in that epic war
A minorAm C majorC
And it wasn't long at all before
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
E minorEm A minorAm
And in the end some Gungans died
E minorEm A minorAm
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
C majorC G+G A minorAm
A augmentedA lot of folks were croakin'
C majorC D MajorD
The battle droids were broken
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
And the Jedi I admire most
Am7Am7 D MajorD
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
C majorC D7D7 G+G C majorC G+G
I guess I'll train this boy [pause]
And I was singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
My my this here Anakin guy
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
E minorEm A7A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
E minorEm D7D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin' ...
