The Saga Begins Tab par Weird Al Yankovic (Accords Baryton)

G             Em
A long, long time ago
Am               C
In a galaxy far away
   Em                 D
Naboo was under an attack
     G               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                    Am
We escaped from that gas
     C                    D
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
   G            Em
We took a bongo from the scene
       C                D
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
   G               Em
We all wound up on Tatooine
       C        D          G
That's where we found this boy...

G                  C      G
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"


Did you know this junkyard slave

Isn't even old enough to shave

But he can use the Force, they say

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen

Though he's just nine and she's fourteen

Yah, he's probably gonna marry her someday

Well, I know he built C-3PO

And I've heard how fast his pod can go

And we were broke, it's true

So we made a wager or two

He was a prepubescent flyin' ace

And the minute Jabba started off that race

Well, I knew who would win first place

Oh yes, it was our boy


We started singin' ...

My my this here Anakin guy

May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


Now we finally got to Coruscant

The Jedi Council we knew would want

To see how good the boy could be

So we took him there and we told the tale

How his midi-chlorians were off the scale

And he might fulfill that prophecy

Oh, the Council was impressed, of course

Could he bring balance to the Force?

They interviewed the kid

Oh, training they forbid

Because Yoda sensed in him much fear

And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"

"Just stick it in your pointy ear"

"I still will teach this boy"


He was singin' ...

My my this here Anakin guy

May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


We caught a ride back to Naboo

'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to

I frankly would've liked to stay

We all fought in that epic war

And it wasn't long at all before

Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day

And in the end some Gunguns died

Some ships blew up and some pilots fried

A lot of folks were croakin'

The battle droids were broken

And the Jedi I admire most

Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast

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

I guess I'll train this boy


And I was singin' ...

My my this here Anakin guy

May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


We were singin' ...

My my this here Anakin guy

May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry

And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye

Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
