A [D] long, [Em] long time ago,
[Am] in a [C] galaxy far away, [Em]
Naboo was under [D] an attack.
And I thought [Em] me and Qui-Gon Jinn [Am] could talk the [C] Federation [Em] into maybe [C] cutting them a little [D] slack.
[Em] But their response, [Am] it didn't thrill [Em] us.
They locked the [Am] doors and tried to kill [C] us.
[G] We escaped [Am] from that gas, [C] then met Jar Jar [D] and Boss Nass.
[G] We [D] took a bongo [Em] from the scene [C] and we went to feed [D] to see the Queen.
[G] We all [D] wound up [Em] on Tatooine.
[C] That's where [D] we found [G] this boy.
Oh my, my, this here Anakin [D] guy, [G] maybe Vader someday later, no he's just a [D] 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 a [D] Jedi.
[G] Did you [Am] know this junkyard [C] slave isn't even old [Am] enough to [Em] shave?
But he can [D] use the force they say.
[G] I do [D] see him [Em] hitting on the Queen, [Am] though he's just [C] nine and she's [Em] fourteen.
Yeah, he's probably [A] gonna marry her [D] someday.
[Em] Well I know he built [D] C-3PO [E] and I've heard how fast [D] his bod can [C] go.
And we [Em] were broke, [Am] it's true.
[C] So we made a wager [D] or two.
We [G] won the preview, [D] best [Em] in flying ace.
[Am] And the minute [C] Jabba started off that [G] race.
Well I [D] knew [Em] who would win first place.
Oh [C] yes, [D] it was [G] our boy.
[C] [G] We [D] started singing [G] [C] my, my, this [G] here Anakin guy, maybe Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry.
And he left [C] his home and [G] kissed his mommy [D] goodbye, [Em] saying soon I'm gonna be a [A] Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna be [D] a Jedi.
[G] Now we finally [Am] got to [C] Coruscant, the Jedi
[Em] council we knew it was, to see how good [D] the boy could be.
So [G] we took him [Em] there and we told the tale [Am] how his mini [C]-glorians were off the [Em] scale and he might [A] fulfill that [D] prophecy.
[Em] Oh the council [D] was impressed of course, [Em] could he bring [D] balance to [G] the force [C] they [Bm] interviewed [Am] the kid.
[C] Oh training they [D] were busy, [G] not [D] Yoda sensed [Em] in him much fear.
[Am] And Qui-Gon [C] said now listen here, [G] just stick [Bm] it in [Em] your pointy ear, [C] I still [D] will teach [G] this boy.
[C] [G]
[D] He was [G] singing my, my, this here [D] Anakin guy, [G] maybe Vader someday later, now he's just [D] a small fry.
[G] And he left his home and kissed his mommy [E] goodbye, [Em] saying soon I'm gonna be a [A]
Jedi.
[Em] Soon I'm gonna be a [D] Jedi.
[G] We caught a [Em] ride back to Naboo, [Am]
cause Queen [D] [C] Amidala wanted to.
[Em]
I frankly [D] would have liked to stay.
[E]
[G] We all fought [Em] in that epic [G] war, and it wasn't [C] long at all before,
[Em] Little Hotshot flew [C] his plane and [A] saved the [E] day.
[Em] And in the end some Gungans died, some ships blew up and [Am] some pilots fried.
[C] [G] A lot of folks [Am] were croaking,
[C] the battle droids were [D] broken.
[G] And the Jedi [D] I [Em] admire most, [C] met up with Darth [D] Maul and now he's toast.
[G] [D] I'm still here and [Em]
he's a ghost, I [C] guess [D] I'll train [G] this boy.
And I was singing my, [C] my, [G] this here Anakin [D] guy, maybe [G] Vader [C] someday later, [G] now he's just a [D] small fry.

Jedi.
