verse 1 :

D9 Dsus G F
well , i came upon a child of god , he was walking down the road ,

G F D
and i asked him , “brother whe’re ya going?” this he told me :

D9 Dsus G
’ said , i’m going down to yasgur’s farm , going to join in a rock and roll
F
band

G F D
going to camp out on the land , ’ try to set my soul free

chorus :

Cmaj9 Dsus Cmaj9 Dsus
we are stardust , and we are golden , we are million year old carbon ,

F C G F Dsus
and we got to get ourselves back to the garden , ya

verse 2 :

D9 Dsus G F
well , then can i walk beside you? i’ve come to lose my smog

G F Dsus
now feeling as if i’m a cog in something turning

D9 Dsus G F
yes and maybe it’s the time of year , and maybe it’s the time of man

G F Dsus
and i don’t know who i Am , but life is for learning

chorus :

Cmaj9 Dsus Cmaj9 Dsus
we are stardust , we are golden , we are billion year old carbon ,

F C G F Dsus
and we got to get ourselves back to the garden

verse 3 :

D9 Dsus G F
by the time we got to woodstock , we were half – A – million strong ,

G F Dsus
and everywhere was a song and a celebration , ya

D9 Dsus G F
and i dreamed i saw the bomber death ships flying shotgun in the sky , ya

G F Dsus
turning into butterflies above our nation

chorus :

Cmaj9 Dsus Cmaj9 Dsus
we are stardust , we are golden , we are caught in the devil’s bargain ,

F C G F Dsus
and we got to get ourselves back to the garden

Cmaj9 Dsus Cmaj9 Dsus
yes , we are stardust , we are golden , we are million year old carbon ,

F C G F Dsus
and we got to get ourselves back to the garden
