[Intro]

| G | % | % | % |
 
[Verse 1]
G                  G7             C                        C7
Well I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road
C                                     C7                G         G7
And I asked him, tell me, Where are you going?  This he told me
G                         G7                   C
Said "I'm going down to Yasgurs farm, Gonna join in a Rock `n' Roll band
C                                       G7
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free"
 
[Chorus]
      C           G7
We are stardust We are golden
           C                C7
And we are billion year old Carbon
  Bb              F
And we got to get ourselves
             C     G7  G
Back to the gar - den
 
[Verse 2]
G                        G7
Well, then can I walk beside you?
C                        C7
I have come to lose the smog,
C                    C7               G       G7
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning.
G                      G7          C                     C7
And maybe it's the time of year, Yes and maybe it's the time of man.
C                C7                           G         G7
And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning.
 
[Chorus]
      C           G7
We are stardust We are golden
           C                C7
And we are billion year old Carbon
  Bb              F
And we got to get ourselves
             C     G7  G
Back to the gar - den
 
[Verse 3]
G                                        C
By the time we got to Woodstock, We were half a million strong
C                                  G
And everywhere was a song and celebration
G                                                   C
And I dreamed I saw the bomber death planes riding shotgun in the sky,
C                                    G
Turning into butterflies above our nation.
 
[Outro]
      C           G
We are stardust We are golden
   C
We are caught in the devils bargain
       Bb             F                  C            G
And we got to get ourselves Back to the gar    -     den

any similarity with the actual song is purely accidental

It sounds absolutely fucking perfect (minus the chords that accompany "billion year-old carbon", not sure about them yet), but only if you tune the whole guitar down a quarter step.. like half of a half step.. just trust me on this, its how the studio recording is tuned
