. 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"
--------
hear me sing it...
