--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Joni Mitchell From: "Déja Vu" (1970) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard A tough one. This chord sheet is my reading for people who want to sing the song and accompany themselves on an acoustic guitar. I tried to integrate the organ (verse) and the harmonies (chorus) into the guitar accompaniment. Capo 3rd fret makes for easier playing. Comments and suggestions for improvement are highly welcome. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- capo: 3rd fret play: Em key: Gm For original chords transpose ths chord sheet +3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

       E5
Well I came upon a child of God

       A        A13 *    A7    A13 *  
He was walking along the road, and I ..

A                  A13 *         A7
Asked him, tell me where are you going?

A13 *   | E5 |  %  |
This he   told me

         E5
Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm

       A        A13 *         A7    A13 *  
Gonna join in a rock and roll band

       A        A13 *   A7       A13 *     |  E5  |      E5 E5
Got to get back to the  land and set  my    soul free.  (break)
[Chorus]
        A13 *    A7      Em7
We are stardust, we are  golden
(sta - ar - dust)
       Gmaj7/A          Em/A
We are billion year old carbon
(go--------------l-den)
          G             D
And we've got to get ourselves

            A      E    D/E
Back to the ga-a-a-aaar-den
[Verse]
           E5
Well then, can I walk along beside you?

       A            A13 *    A    A13 *  
I have come here to lose the smog

      A       A13 * A7      A13 *      E5      D/E
And I feel myself a cog in something turning 

    E5
And maybe it's the time of year

         A              A13 *    A7
Yes, and maybe it's the time  of man

      A          A13 *   A7       A13 *      |  E5  |      E5 E5
And I don't know who  I  am,  but life is for learning.   (break)
[Chorus]
        A13 *    A7      Em7
We are stardust, we are  golden
(sta - ar - dust)
       Gmaj7/A          Em/A
We are billion year old carbon
(go--------------l-den)
          G             D
And we've got to get ourselves

            A      E    D/E
Back to the ga-a-a-aaar-den

[Verse]
       E5
By the time we got to Woodstock

        A      A13 *   A7     A13 *  
We were half a million strong

    A    A13 *     A7         A13 *    E5       D/E
And everywhere was song and a cele  -  bration

      E5
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes

   A           A13 *   A7   A13 *  
Riding shotgun in  the sky

        A    A13 *   A7     A13 *    |  E5  |  E5 E5
Turning into butter -flies above our nation    (break)
[Chorus]
        A13 *    A7      Em7
We are stardust, we are  golden
(sta - ar - dust)
       Gmaj7/A               Em/A
We are caught in the devil’s bargain
(go--------------l-den)
          G             D
And we've got to get ourselves

            A      E          D/E
Back to the ga-a-a-aaa-a-a-ar-den
