- Em
I came upon a child of God
- Am
- he was walking down the road,
- Am
when I asked him "where are you going?"
- Em
This he told me;
Em
- "I'm going down to Yasgur's farm,
- Am
- Think I'll join a rock and roll band,
-Am Em
- I'll camp out on the land, I'll try set my soul free."
-
- CHORUS
- Am Em
- We are stardust, we are golden
- Em Am
and we've got to get ourselves
- Em
back to the garden.
- Em D/E Em D/E
- Em
Well then can I walk beside you?
- Am
I have come here to lose the smog
- Em
and I feel just like a cog in something turning.
- Em
Well maybe it's the time of year
- Am
- or maybe it's the time of man,
- Em
and I don't know who I am but life's for learning.
- Em Am Em
- We are stardust, we are golden
- Em Am
and we've got to get ourselves
- |Em
back to the garden.
- Em D/E Em D/E
- Em
- By the time I got to Woodstock,
- Am
- they were half a million strong,
- Em
- everywhere there were songs and celebrations.
Em
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
- Am
- riding shotgun in the sky,
- Em
turning into butterflies above our nation.
- Em Am Em
- We are stardust, we are golden
- Em Am
and we've got to get ourselves
- |Em
back to the garden.
