Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

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

Remember, there are 3 guitars playing this not just one.

Verse

 Well I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road

 And I asked him, tell me where are you going?

 This he told me

Said I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm,

Gonna join in a rock and roll band.

 Got to get back to the land and set my soul free.

Chorus

 We are stardust, we are golden

 We are billion year old carbon

 And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den

Verse

 Well then, can I walk beside you?

I have come here to lose the smog,

 And I feel as I'm a cog in something turning.

And maybe it's the time of year,

Yes, and maybe it's the time of man.

 And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.

Chorus

 We are stardust, we are golden

 We are billion year old carbon

 And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den

 INSTRUMENTAL SOLO over these chords:

Chorus

 We are stardust, we are golden

 We are billion year old carbon

 And we've got to get ourselves back to the gaaar aaar den

Verse

 By the time we got to Woodstock,

We were half a million strong

 And everywhere was song and a celebration.

And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes

Riding shotgun in the sky,

 Turning into butterflies

 Above our nation.

Chorus

 We are stardust, we are golden

 We are caught in a devils bargain

 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
