Standard Tuning
No Capo
[VERSE 1:]
G D Em7
A long, long time ago
Am C
In a galaxy far away
Em D
Naboo was under an attack
G D Em7
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Am C
Could talk the federation into
Em C D
Maybe cutting them a little slack
Em Am
But their response, it didn't thrill us
Em Am
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
C G Am
We escaped from that gas
C D
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
G D Em
We took a bongo from the scene
Am7 D
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
G D Em
We all wound up on Tatooine
C D7 G C G
That's where we found this boy...
[CHORUS:]
G C G D
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
G C G D
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G C G D
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Em A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Em D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 2:]
G Am
Did you know this junkyard slave
C Am
Isn't even old enough to shave
Em D
But he can use the Force, they say
G D Em
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Am7 C
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Em A7 D
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Em D
Well, I know he built C-3PO
Em D
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
C G A7
And we were broke, it's true
C D7
So we made a wager or two
G D Em
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
Am C
And the minute Jabba started off that race
G D Em
Well, I knew who would win first place
C D7 G C G
Oh yes, it was our boy
D7
We started singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G C G D
My my this here Anakin guy
G C G D
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G C G D
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Em A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Em D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 3:]
G Am
Now we finally got to Coruscant
C Am
The Jedi Council we knew would want
Em D
To see how good the boy could be
G D Em
So we took him there and we told the tale
Am7 C
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
Em A7 D
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Em D
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Em D
Could he bring balance to the Force?
C G A7
They interviewed the kid
C D7
Oh, training they forbid
G D Em
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
Am C
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here
G D Em
Just stick it in your pointy ear
C D7 G C G
I still will teach this boy"
D7
He was singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G C G D
My my this here Anakin guy
G C G D
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G C G D
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Em A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Em D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
[VERSE 4:]
G D Em7
We caught a ride back to Naboo
Am C
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
Em D
I frankly would've liked to stay
G D Em7
We all fought in that epic war
Am C
And it wasn't long at all before
Em C D
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
Em Am
And in the end some Gungans died
Em Am
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
C G Am
A lot of folks were croakin'
C D
The battle droids were broken
G D Em
And the Jedi I admire most
Am7 D
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
G D Em
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
C D7 G C G
I guess I'll train this boy [pause]
And I was singin' ...
[CHORUS:]
G C G D
My my this here Anakin guy
G C G D
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G C G D
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Em A7
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Em D7
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin' ...
G C G D
My my this here Anakin guy
G C G D
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
G C G D
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
C D7 G C G
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
