The Saga Begins --------------- Lyrical adaption of 'American Pie' by Don McLean New lyrics by Al Yankovic With Special Thanks to George Lucas Tabbed by James Lincoln and Frank Grimes http://linkoln.tripod.com/music.html . 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" -------- hear me sing it... http://linkoln.tripod.com/the_saga_begins.mp3
