INTRO: This is the way I play(improvise)the intro.

VERSE:
W[Gm]ell I came upon a child of God
[G7]He was w[C]alking along the [Csus4]road
And I asked him, t[C]ell me where are you [Csus4]going?
This he [Gm]told me
[Gm]Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,
[G7]Gonna j[C]oin in a rock and roll [Csus4]band.
Got to g[C]et back to the [Csus4]land and set my [Gm]soul free.
CHORUS:
We are s[C]tardust, we are g[G]olden
We are b[C]illion year old c[G]arbon
And we've [Bb]got to get oursel[F]ves back to the ga[C]aar a[G]aar d[F]en
VERSE:
Well then, [Gm]can I walk beside you?
[G7]I have c[C]ome here to lose the [Csus4]smog,
And I f[C]eel as I'm a co[Csus4]g in something t[Gm]urning.
[Gm]And maybe it's the time of year,
[G7]Yes, and m[C]aybe it's the time of[Csus4] man.
And I d[C]on't know who I [Csus4] am, but life is for l[Gm]earning.
CHORUS:
We are s[C]tardust, we are g[G]olden
We are b[C]illion year old c[G]arbon
And we've [Bb]got to get oursel[F]ves back to the ga[C]aar a[G]aar d[F]en
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO over these chords: Gm C Csus4 C Csus4 Gm
CHORUS:
We are s[C]tardust, we are g[G]olden
We are b[C]illion year old c[G]arbon
And we've [Bb]got to get oursel[F]ves back to the ga[C]aar a[G]aar d[F]en
VERSE:
By the t[Gm]ime we got to Woodstock,
[G7]We were h[C]alf a million s[Csus4]trong
And ev[C]erywhere was [Csus4]song and a cel[Gm]ebration.
[Gm]And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
[G7]Riding s[C]hotgun in the [Csus4]sky,
Turning i[C]nto butterf[Csus4]lies
Above our [Gm]nation.
CHORUS:
We are s[C]tardust, we are g[G]olden
We are cau[C]ght in a devils barga[G]in
And we've [Bb]got to get oursel[F]ves back to the ga[C]aar a[G]aar d[F]en
OUTRO: INSTRUMENTAL
Note: To me the other versions tabbed were not
playable to the album. This one is close as I
believe that the guitars in the original version
were tuned up 1/2 step... Also, I noticed when
CSN played this later in concert their intro was
nothing like the original version. As stated I
believe that it is difficult to get the original
intro as there were 3 guitars doing it instead of
just one... If someone has a better intro send it
to me and I may change the one I have posted here.
Thanks
