[G] A [Em] long, long time ago, [Am] in a [C] galaxy far away, [Em]
Naboo was [D] under an attack.
[D] And I [Em] thought me and Qui-Gon [Am] Jinn could talk the [C] Federation [Em] into maybe [C] cutting them a [D] little slack.
[Em] But their response, [Am] it didn't [Em] thrill us.
They [Am] locked the doors and tried to kill us.
[G] We [Am] escaped from that gas.
[C] The Met Jar [D] Jar and Boss Nass.
[D] We took a [Em] bungle from the scene [C] and we went to [D] feed to see the Queen.
[G] [D] We all wound [Em] up on Tatooine.
[C] That's where [D] we found [G] this boy.
Oh my, my, this here [D] Anakin guy.
[G] Maybe Vader [C] someday later.
[G] Now he's [D] just a small fry.
[G] And he left his home and kissed [D] his mommy goodbye.
[Em] Saying soon I'm gonna [A] be a Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna be a [D] Jedi.
[G] Did you [Am] know this junkyard slave [C] isn't even old [Am] enough to [Em] shave?
But he [D] can use the force they say.
[G] How do [D] you see [Em] him hitting on the [Am] Queen?
Though he's just [C] nine and she's [Em] fourteen.
Yeah he's [A] probably gonna marry [D] her someday.
[Em] Well I know he built [D] the 3PO.
[Em] And I've heard how [D] fast his pod can [C] go.
And [Em] we were [Am] broke it's true.
[C] So we [D] drew our two.
[G] He was a [D] preview [Em] best soon flying in [Am] Ace.
And the minute [C] Jabba started off that [G] race.
Well [D] I knew [Em] who would win first [C] place.
Oh yes [D] it was [G] our [C] boy.
[G] [D] We started [G] singing [C] my, [G] my, this here [D] Anakin guy.
[G] Maybe [C] Vader someday [G] later.
Now he's [D] just a small fry.
[G] And he [C] left his [G] home and kissed his [D] mommy goodbye.
[Em] Saying soon I'm gonna [A] be a Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna [D] be a Jedi.
[Bm] [G] So now we finally [Am] got to [C] Coruscant.
The Jedi [Am]
Council we knew it [Em] was.
To see how good [D] the boy could be.
So [G] we took [Em] him there and we told the tale.
[Am] How his [C] midi-chlorians were off [Em] the scale.
And he might [A] fulfill that [D] prophecy.
[Em] Oh the council [D] was impressed of course.
[Em] Could he bring [D] balance [G] to the [C] force?
They [G] [Am] interviewed the kid.
[C] [D] Forbid [G] [D] because Yoda [Em] sensed in him much [Am] fear.
And Qui-Gon [C] said now listen [G] here.
Just [D] stick [Em] it in your pointy [C] ear.
I still [D] will [G] teach that [C] boy.
[G] [D] He [G] was singing my, my, this [D] here Anakin [G] guy.
Maybe Vader someday later.
Now [D] he's just a small [G] fry.
And he left his home and [D] kissed his mommy [Em] goodbye.
Saying soon I'm gonna be a [A] Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna be [D] a Jedi.
[G] [D] We caught a [Em] ride back to Naboo.
[Am] Cause [D] Queen [C] Amidala wanted to.
[Em] I frankly [D] would have liked to [Em] stay.
[Am]
[G] We all fought [Em] in that epic [G] war.
[Am] And it [G] wasn't [C] long at all [Em] before.
Little Hotshot flew [C] his plane and [D] saved the [G] day.
[D] [Em]
And in the [A] end some [Em] Gungans [Em] died.
Some ships [Am] blew up and some pilots [C] fried.
[G] A lot of [Am] folks were croaking.
[C] The battle [D] droids were broken.
[G] And [D] the Jedi [Em] I admire [G] [C] most.
Met up with Darth [D] Maul and now he's [G] toast.
[D] Well I'm still [Em] here and he's a ghost.
[C] I guess [D] I'll train [G] this boy.
And I was singing my, [C] my, [G] this here [D] Anakin guy.
[G] Maybe [C] Vader someday [G] later.
Now he's just [D] a small fry.
[G] And he left his home and kissed his mommy [D] goodbye.
[Em] Saying soon I'm gonna be a [A] Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna be [D] a Jedi.
We were singing [G] my, [C]
[G] my, this here Anakin [D] guy.
[G] Maybe Vader someday later.
Now he's [D] just a small fry.
[G] And he left his home and kissed his mommy [D] goodbye.
[C] Saying soon [D] I'm gonna be [G] a Jedi.
