Woodstock - By Joni Mitchell

Tune a note and a half down! Intro: E, E11, E sus7, E
(E7) Well I came upon a child of god
He was (A7) walking along the road
And I asked him tell me where are you going
And this he (E) told me
Said I'm (E7) goin' on down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna (A7) join in a rock n roll band
Got to (A7sus) get back to the land and set my (E) soul free

We are (A) stardust We are (E) golden
We are (G) billion year old (D) carbon
And we've (G) got to get (D) ourselves
Back to the (A) garden (E)

Well then (E) can I roam beside you?
I have (A7) come to lose the smog
And I (A7sus) feel my self a cog in something (E) turning
And (E7) maybe it's the time of year
Yes and (A7) maybe it's the time of man
And I (A7sus) don't know who I (A7) am
But life is for (E) learning

We are (A7)stardust We are (E) golden
We are (G) billion year old (D) carbon
And (G) we've got to get (D) ourselves
Back to the (A) garden (E)(adlib into, repeat)

By the (E7) time we got to Woodstock
We were (A7) half a million strong
And (A7sus) everywhere was a song and (E) celebration
And I (E7) dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding (A7) shotgun in the sky
Turning (A7sus) into butterflies
Above all (our) (E) nation

We are (A) stardust We are golden
We are (G) lost (caught) in the devil's (D) bargain
And we've (G) got to get (D) ourselves
Back to the (A) garden (E)

First parts of one of the road map back to the Garden can be reviewed in Mother Nature's Son's description. The same road map towards John's Imagined world.

This video was inspired by getting to know a great YouTube Brother Strat2Caster. For the young viewers who may not have a good idea what the true nature of a genuine hippie is like, someone who stayed true to the worthwhile ideals of the Woodstock Generation, please visit his channel and emulate to inch closer to the Garden one "Child of God" at the time, the world will eventually be a better place. Thank you everyone!
