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
Thanks Joni!
