I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
         A                           D
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated
E             A
Soda  S-O-D-A soda
  E
I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
  A                           D
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said
E             A    D            C    D  E
Yoda  Y-O-D-A Yoda  Yo yo yo yo Yoda
     E
Well I've been around but I ain't never seen
          A                            D
A guy who looks like a Muppet but he's wrinkled and green
      E                 A
Oh my Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
     E
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
           A                          D
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
      E                 A    D            C    D  E
Oh my Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda

Well I left home just a week before
    F#7
And I never ever been a Jedi before
    A
But Obi-wan, he set me straight of course
A
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force."
      E
Well, I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
      A                              D
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again with my
E                 A    D            C    D  E
Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
E                 A    D            C    D  E
Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda

   A      E   B
So I used the Force
  A      E    B
I picked up a box
  A      E       B
I lifted some rocks
        E     G#7   C#m
While I stood on my head
    B                        B6
But I won't forget what Yoda said
          E
He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side,
           A                           D
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide."
       E                 A
Oh, my Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
  E
I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
       A                                  D
But, remember if you kill him then you'll be unemployed
       E                 A
Oh, my Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
B7
Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
   F#7
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
    A
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
A
I'll be playing this part till I'm old and gray
    E
The long-term contract I had to sign
             A                            D
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
        E                A    D            C    D  E
Oh, my Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
E                 A    D            C    D  E
Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
E                 A    D            C    D  E
Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda  yo yo yo yo Yoda
