Written by: Joni Mitchell

A tough one. This chord sheet is my reading for people who want to sing the
song and accompany themselves on an acoustic guitar. I tried to integrate
the organ (verse) and the harmonies (chorus) into the guitar accompaniment.
Capo 3rd fret makes for easier playing. Comments and suggestions for
improvement are highly welcome.

[Verse]
E5
Well I came upon a child of God
A A13 * A7 A13 *
He was walking along the road, and I ..
A A13 * A7
Asked him, tell me where are you going?
A13 * | E5 | % |
This he told me
E5
Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
A A13 * A7 A13 *
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
A A13 * A7 A13 * | E5 | E5 E5
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free. (break)

We are billion year old carbon
(go--------------l-den)
G D
And we've got to get ourselves
A E D/E
Back to the ga-a-a-aaar-den
[Verse]
E5
Well then, can I walk along beside you?
A A13 * A A13 *
I have come here to lose the smog
A A13 * A7 A13 * E5 D/E
And I feel myself a cog in something turning
E5
And maybe it's the time of year
A A13 * A7
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man
A A13 * A7 A13 * | E5 | E5 E5
And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning. (break)
[Chorus]
A13 * A7 Em7
We are stardust, we are golden
(sta - ar - dust)

E5
By the time we got to Woodstock
A A13 * A7 A13 *
We were half a million strong
A A13 * A7 A13 * E5 D/E
And everywhere was song and a cele - bration
E5
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes
A A13 * A7 A13 *
Riding shotgun in the sky
A A13 * A7 A13 * | E5 | E5 E5
Turning into butter -flies above our nation (break)
[Chorus]
A13 * A7 Em7
We are stardust, we are golden

We are caught in the devil’s bargain
