Capo: 1st Fret

I [D]met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
Where it [G]bubbles all the time like a [C]giant carbonated
[D]Soda, S-O-D-A [G]soda
I [D]saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I [G]asked him his name and in a [C]raspy voice he said
[D]Yoda, Y-O-D-A [G]Yoda, [C] Yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C]  [D]

Well [D]I've been around but I ain't never seen
A guy who [G]looks like a Muppet but he's [C]wrinkled and green
Oh my [D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda
Well [D]I'm not dumb but I can't understand
How he can [G]lift me in the air just by [C]raising his hand
Oh my [D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda, [C] yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C] [D]

PRE-CHORUS #1:
Well [A7]I left home just a week before
And [E7]I never ever been a Jedi before
But [G]Obi-wan, he set me straight of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll [Bb]show you the [D]Force."

CHORUS #1:
Well, [D]I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it [G]looks like I'm gonna start all [C]over again with my
[D]Yoda, Y-O-D-A [G]Yoda, [C] Yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C]  [D]
[D]Yoda, Y-O-D-A [G]Yoda, [C] Yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C]  [D]

BRIDGE:
So [G]I used [D]the [A]Force
I [G]picked [D]up a [A]box
I [G]lift[D]ed some [A]rocks
While I [D]stood [F#7]on my [Bm]head
But [A]I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "[D]Luke, stay away from the darker side,
And if you [G]start to go astray, let the [C]Force be your guide."
Oh, my [D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda
I [D]know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But, re[G]member if you kill him then you'll [C]be unemployed
Oh, my [D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda

PRE-CHORUS #2:
[A7]Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So [E7]I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But [G]I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part till I'm [Bb]old and [D]gray

CHORUS #2:
The [D]long-term contract I had to sign
Says I'll be [G]making these movies till the [C]end of time
Oh, my [D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda, [C] Yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C]  [D]
[D]Yoda, yo-yo-yo-yo-[G]Yoda, [C] Yo yo yo yo [Bb]Yoda  [C]  (x6)
