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

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.
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
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.
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:
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
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.
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
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
