Joni Mitchell - Woodstock

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!

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

D Dsus
gonna join in a rock and roll band .

D Dsus Em

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

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 .
