Woodstock Chords & Lyrics by Joni Mitchell
Woodstock
guitar chords lyrics
CAPO ON SIX OR SEVEN!!!
(it sounds fine on either, just see which suits your vocal range best.
It does sound good on lower frets too.)
These chords are a somewhat easier to sing cover for the video version of
Joni performing Woodstock live on BBC in 1970...it's very easy to find on
the internet and a great performance.
I tried and tried to find some of these chord names with chordbook, but when
i searched the chord names it gave me it came up with differnet finger
placements...so here is a chord chart and I'm sorry if the names don't match
properly!

Em
I came upon a child of God
D Dsus
He was walking along the road
D Dsus
I asked him, where are you going?
Em
And this he told me
Em
I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
D Dsus
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
D Dsus Em
Get camp out on the land and get my soul free.
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Gmaj Cmaj7/E
We are stardust, we are golden,
Em Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
Em
So can I walk beside you?
D Dsus
I've come here to lose the smog,
D Dsus Em
I feel to be a cog in something turning.
Em
Maybe it's just the time of year,
D Dsus
Maybe it's the time of man.
D Dsus Em
I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Gmaj Cmaj7/E
We are stardust, we are golden,
Em Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
Em
By the time we got to Woodstock,
D Dsus
We were half a million strong
D Dsus Em
And Everywhere there was song and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
D Dsus
Riding shotgun in the sky,
D Dsus
Turning into butterflies
Em
Above our nation.
Em Cadd9 A7sus4/E Em
We are stardust, billion year old carbon,
Gmaj Cmaj7/E
we are golden
Em
Caught in a devils bargain
Em Cadd9 Asus4/E Dsus D Asus4/E G Em
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
