Woodstock Joni Mitchell
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!

[Em]I came upon a child of God
He was [D]walking along the [Dsus]road
I [D]asked him, where are you g[Dsus]oing?
And this he [Em]told me
[Em]I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna j[D]oin in a rock and roll [Dsus]band.
Get c[D]amp out on the [Dsus]land and get my [Em]soul free.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e stard[A7sus4/E]ust, we are [Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en,
[Em] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Em]So can I walk beside you?
I've co[D]me here to lose the [Dsus]smog,
I f[D]eel to be a [Dsus]cog in something [Em]turning.
[Em]Maybe it's just the time of year,
[D]Maybe it's the time of [Dsus]man.
I don't k[D]now who I [Dsus]am, but life is for [Em]learning.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e stard[A7sus4/E]ust, we are [Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en,
[Em] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Em]By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were [D]half a million [Dsus]strong
And Ever[D]ywhere there was [Dsus]song and cele[Em]bration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding sho[D]tgun in the[Dsus] sky,
Turning [D]into butter[Dsus]flies
Above our [Em]nation.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e star[A7sus4/E]dust, [Em]billion year old carbon,
we are[Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en
[Em]Caught in a devils bargain
[Em] [Cadd9] [Asus4/E] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
