.  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"
