Key: G major
Intro 1
G
D
Em
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 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
Am
C
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
G
D
Em
We all wound up on Tatooine
C
D
G
That's where we found this boy...
Chorus 1
G
C
G
D
Oh my my this here Anakin guy
G
C
May be Vader someday later
G
D
Now he's just a small fry
G
C
And he left his home
G
D
and kissed his mommy goodbye
Em
A
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Em
D
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Verse 1
G
Am
Did you know this junkyard slave
C

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
Am
C
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
A
D
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
Am
And we were broke, it's true
C
D
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
D
G
C
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin' ...

Verse 2
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
A
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
Am
They interviewed the kid
C
D
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
D
G
C
"I still will teach this boy"
G
D
He was singin' ...

We caught a ride back to Naboo

'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
Em

I frankly would've liked to stay
G

Em
We all fought in that epic war
Am
C
And it wasn't long at all before
Em
C
Little Hotshot flew his plane
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'

The battle droids were broken

And the Jedi I admire most

Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost

I guess I'll train this boy
