. G D Em

A long long time ago

Am C

in a galaxy far away

. Em D

Naboo was under an attack

. G D Em

And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn

Am C

Could talk the Federation in

. Em C D7

To 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 killed 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...

. 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"

. 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

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen

. Am C

Though he's just nine and she's fourteen

. Em A7 D7

Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday

. Em Am

Well, I know he built C-3PO

. Em Am

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...oooh!

. 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'd would win first place

. C D7 G C G D7

Oh yes, it was our boy...We started singing

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"

. 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

. Am C

How his midi-chlorians were off the scale

. Em A7 D7

And he might fulfill that prophecy

. Em Am

Oh, the Council was impressed, of course

. Em Am

Could he bring balance to the Force?

. C G A7

They interviewed the kid

. C D7

Oh, training they forbid....oh?

. 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 D7

I still will teach this boy"..He was 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

. Em A7

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Em D7

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

. G D Em

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 Em

We all fought in that epic war

. Am C

And it wasn't long at all before

. Em C D7

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 Am7

A lot of folks were croakin'

. C D

The battle droids were broken

. G D Em

And the Jedi I admire most

. Am 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 (slow) D7

I guess I'll train this boy.....And I was 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

. Em A7

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Em D7 ...

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

G D7 (all)

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"

--------
