CAPO ON SIX OR SEVEN!!!
(it sounds fine on either, just see which suits your vocal range best.
It does sound good on lower frets too.)
These chords are a somewhat easier to sing cover for the video version of
Joni performing Woodstock live on BBC in 1970...it s very easy to find on
the internet and a great performance.
I tried and tried to find some of these chord names with chordbook, but when
i searched the chord names it gave me it came up with differnet finger
placements...so here is a chord chart and I m sorry if the names don t match
properly!

[Verse 1]
I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
I asked him, where are you going?
And this he told me
I m going down to Yasgur s Farm,
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
Get camp out on the land and get my soul free.
[Chorus]
/ /
We are stardust, we are golden,
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Verse 2]
So can I walk beside you?
I ve come here to lose the smog,
I feel to be a cog in something turning.
Maybe it s just the time of year,
Maybe it s the time of man.
I don t know who I am, but life is for learning.
[Chorus]
/ /
We are stardust, we are golden,
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Verse 3]
By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were half a million strong
And Everywhere there was song and celebration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky,
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation.
[Chorus]
/
We are stardust, billion year old carbon,
/
we are golden
Caught in a devils bargain
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
