VERSE:
 Gm
Well I came upon a child of God
G7   C        Csus4
He was walking along the road
         C          Csus4
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           Csus4
Gonna join in a rock and roll band.
    C       Csus4      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          Csus4
I have come here to lose the smog,
    C       Csus4      Gm
And I feel as I`m a cog in something turning.
Gm
And maybe it`s the time of year,
G7    C          Csus4
Yes, and maybe it`s the time of man.
    C        Csus4         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 Csus4 C Csus4 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       Csus4
We were half a million strong
   C      Csus4     Gm
And everywhere was song and a celebration.
Gm
And I dreamed I saw the bombers, jet planes
G7   C       Csus4
Riding shotgun in the sky,
     C     Csus4
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
