Woodstock (Alternate Vocals) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where he was going
And this he told me
"Well, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land
And set my soul free"

[Chorus]
We are stardust (We are stardust), we are golden
Yes, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

[Verse 2]
Well, then can I walk beside you?
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog
In somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning

[Chorus]
We are stardust (We are stardust), we are golden
Yes, and we got to get ourselves back to the garden
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And we are stardust, we are golden
Yes, and we got to get ourselves back to the garden

[Verse 3]
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere was a 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 (We are golden), we are golden
Yes, and we got to get ourselves back to the garden

[Outro]
We're back to the garden
Going back to the garden

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
