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!

[Em]I came upon a child of God
He was [D]walking along the [Dsus]road
I [D]asked him, where are you g[Dsus]oing?
And this he [Em]told me
[Em]I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
Gonna j[D]oin in a rock and roll [Dsus]band.
Get c[D]amp out on the [Dsus]land and get my [Em]soul free.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e stard[A7sus4/E]ust, we are [Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en,
[Em] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Em]So can I walk beside you?
I've co[D]me here to lose the [Dsus]smog,
I f[D]eel to be a [Dsus]cog in something [Em]turning.
[Em]Maybe it's just the time of year,
[D]Maybe it's the time of [Dsus]man.
I don't k[D]now who I [Dsus]am, but life is for [Em]learning.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e stard[A7sus4/E]ust, we are [Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en,
[Em] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
[Em]By the time we got to Woodstock,
We were [D]half a million [Dsus]strong
And Ever[D]ywhere there was [Dsus]song and cele[Em]bration.
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding sho[D]tgun in the[Dsus] sky,
Turning [D]into butter[Dsus]flies
Above our [Em]nation.
[Em]We ar[Cadd9]e star[A7sus4/E]dust, [Em]billion year old carbon,
we are[Gmaj] gold[Cmaj7/E]en
[Em]Caught in a devils bargain
[Em] [Cadd9] [Asus4/E] [Dsus] [D] [Asus4/E] [G] [Em]
And we got to get ourselves back to the ga---aa--aa------ar-den.
