VERSE:
Gm
Well I came upon a child of God
G7 C Csus4
He was walking along the road

This he told me

Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
G7 C Csus4
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.

Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.

VERSE:
Gm
Well then, can I walk beside you?
G7 C Csus4
I have come here to lose the smog,
C Csus4 Gm
And I feel as I'm a cog in something turning.
Gm
And maybe it's the time of year,
G7 C Csus4
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man.
C Csus4 Gm
And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.

VERSE:
Gm
By the time we got to Woodstock,
G7 C Csus4
We were half a million strong
C Csus4 Gm
And everywhere was song and a celebration.
Gm
And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
G7 C Csus4
Riding shotgun in the sky,
C Csus4
Turning into butterflies
Gm
Above our nation.
[Refrão] C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are caught in a devils bargain
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
