[G] This next song I'm going to play is about one of these pop festivals that they've been having around the world lately.
It's one that I didn't really get to go to.
I'd been playing the night before in Chicago with a band, friends of mine,.
Crosby, [Abm] Stills, Nash, Young, etc.
,.
[G] etc.
And [Am] it was their first [C] professional appearance and we were all kind of excited about it.
And the next night we were [Abm] supposed to all play in [A] Woodstock and I had to do a TV show [E] the next day,.
so I kind of got left behind because they were having problems getting people [Ab] in and getting them back out again and everything.
So I stayed home in New York and I [D] watched it on television all day and saw everybody there playing and [E] singing.
And it was really a nice festival, I guess, from the looks of [A] everything.
Well, [D] I wrote a little song for my [B] friends to [E] sing and for myself to [G] sing as well.
And it's called Woodstock.
It goes like this.
