CAPO ON SIX OR SEVEN!!!
(it sounds fine on either, just see which suits your vocal range best.
It does sound good on lower frets too.)
These chords are a somewhat easier to sing cover for the video version of
Joni performing Woodstock live on BBC in 1970...it's very easy to find on
the internet and a great performance.
I tried and tried to find some of these chord names with chordbook, but when
i searched the chord names it gave me it came up with differnet finger
placements...so here is a chord chart and I'm sorry if the names don't match
properly!

I came upon a child of God
D Dsus
He was walking along the road
D Dsus
I asked him, where are you going?
Em
And this he told me
Em
I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
D Dsus
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
D Dsus Em
Get camp out on the land and get my soul free.

Riding shotgun in the sky,

Turning into butterflies

Above our nation.
