INTRO:      This is the way I play(improvise)the intro. 
      Remember, there are 3 guitars playing this not just one.

NOTE: this section is mainly improvised by me and
      therefore it is not like the album version.

VERSE:
 G5
Well I came upon a child of God
G5      C5                C5
He was walking along the road
                  C5                    C5
And I asked him , tell me where are you going?
        G5      
This he told me
G5
Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm ,
G5     C5                      C5
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
        C5              C5           G5
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.


CHORUS:
        C5                G5
We are stardust, we are golden
        C5                G5
We are billion year old carbon
          Bb5               F5                 C5    G5    F5
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den



VERSE:
           G5
Well then, can I walk beside you?
G5      C5                    C5
I have come here to lose the smog,
       C5              C5           G5      
And I feel as I'm a cog in something turning.
G5
And maybe it's the time of year,
G5        C5                    C5
Yes, and maybe it's the time of man.
       C5               C5                  G5
And I don't know who I  am ,  but life is for learning.


CHORUS:
        C5                G5
We are stardust, we are golden
        C5                G5
We are billion year old carbon
          Bb5               F5                 C5    G5    F5
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den

CHORUS:
        C5                G5
We are stardust, we are golden
        C5                G5
We are billion year old carbon
          Bb5               F5                 C5    G5    F5
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den


VERSE:
        G5
By the time we got to Woodstock,
G5       C5              C5
We were half a million strong
      C5            C5         G5        
And everywhere was song and a celebration.
G5
And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
G5      C5             C5
Riding shotgun in the sky,
         C5          C5
Turning into butterflies
          G5
Above our nation.


CHORUS:
        C5                G5
We are stardust, we are golden
          C5                    G5      
We are caught in a devils bargain
          Bb5               F5                 C5    G5    F5
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
