TITLE: Woodstock
Lyrics and Chords
[As recorded by Crosby, Stills and Nash]
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, tell me, where are you going
This he told me
/ G - - - / C - - - / / G - - - /
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And set my soul free
{Refrain}
We are stardust, we are golden
Stardust
We are billion-year-old carbon
Golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
/ C - G - / C - - - / Bb - F - C - G - G7 - /
Well then, can I roam beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel myself a cog
In something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
{Refrain}
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a song
And a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust, we are golden
Stardust
We are caught in the devil's bargain
Golden
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
