This song's in the key of Ebm. I play piano and I know this song there, so thought I'd transcribe it.
Tune guitar a half-step down to play in Ebm, to stay in original key.

[Verse]
E5
I came upon a child of God
A5
He was walking along the road
A5
And I asked him, "Where are you going?"
E5
And this he told me...
E5
I'm going on down to Yasgur's Farm,
A5
I'm gonna join in a rock and roll band.
A5
I'm gonna camp out on the land.
E5
I'm gonna get my soul free.
[Chorus]
A5
We are stardust.
A5
We are golden.
Em D B A E5
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gar - den.
[Verse]
E5
Then can I walk beside you?
A5
I have come here to lose the smog,
A5 E5
And I feel to be a cog in something turning.
E5
Well maybe it is just the time of year,
A5
Or maybe it's the time of man.
A5
I don't know who I am,
E5
But you know life is for learning.
[Chorus]
A5
We are stardust.
A5
We are golden.
Em D B A E5
And we've got to get ourselves back to the gar - den.
[Verse]
E5
By the time we got to Woodstock,
A5
We were half a million strong
A5 E5
And Everywhere there was song and celebration.
E5
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
A5
Riding shotgun in the sky,
A5
And they were turning into butterfli - es
E5
Above our nation.
[Chorus]
A
We are stardust.
A5
Billion year old carbon.
A
We are golden..
A5
Caught in the devil's bargain
Em D B A Em
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
