VERSE:
Gm
Well I came upon a child of God
G7 C C4
He was walking along the road
C C4
And I asked him , tell me where are you going?
Gm
This he told me
Gm
Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm ,
G7 C C4
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
C C4 Gm
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.
CHORUS:
C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are billion year old carbon
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
VERSE:
Gm
Well then, can I walk beside you?
G7 C C4
I have come here to lose the smog,
C C4 Gm
And I feel as I'm a cog in something turning.
Gm
And maybe it's the time of year,
G7 C C4
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man.
C C4 Gm
And I don't know who I am , but life is for learning.
CHORUS:
C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are billion year old carbon
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO over these chords: Gm C C4 C C4 Gm
CHORUS:
C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are billion year old carbon
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
VERSE:
Gm
By the time we got to Woodstock,
G7 C C4
We were half a million strong
C C4 Gm
And everywhere was song and a celebration.
Gm
And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
G7 C C4
Riding shotgun in the sky,
C C4
Turning into butterflies
Gm
Above our nation.
CHORUS:
C G
We are stardust, we are golden
C G
We are caught in a devils bargain
Bb F C G F
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den
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
