Am
I came upon a child of God
D Am
He was walking along the road
D Am
And I asked him "where are you going"
G Am
This he told me
Am
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
D Am
Gonna join in a Rock'n'Roll band
Am D Am
Got to get back to the land
G Am
And get my soul free
[Refrão] D Am
We are stardust
G Am
We are golden
D Am
And we've got to get ourselves
G Am
Back to the Garden
Am
Can I walk along beside you
D Am
I have come here to lose the smog
D Am
And I feel like I'm a cog
G Am
In something turning
Am
And maybe it's the time of year
D Am
Maybe it's the time of man
D Am
And I don't know who I am
G Am
But life’s for learning
[Refrão] D Am
We are stardust
G Am
We are golden
D Am
And we've got to get ourselves
G Am
Back to the Garden
Am
By the time we got to Woodstock
D Am
We were half a million strong
D Am
And everywhere there was song
G Am
And celebration
Am
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
D Am
Riding shotgun in the sky
D Am
Turning into butterflies
G Am
Above our nation
(Chorus)
D Am
We are stardust
G Am
We are golden
D Am
And we've got to get ourselves
G Am
Back to the Garden
