C.S.N. (no Y.) - Dark Star (the Wood-Stock becomes a Yatch.)

Dark Star appeared in the 1977 "C.S.N." album and also released as the B-side of their 7'' charted.

A few words about the cover. Very amusing that the three veterans of the freak movement, only 9 years past Woodstock are showing themselves sailing a yatch for millionaires.
Not too strange, though. Stephen Stills, had already experimented A.O.R. fields in the Stlls-Young Band, in '76.

People said that the America (the group) and the Eagles wanted to take the C.S.N. & Y.'s place. They were wrong!
Neil gone, and C.S.N. tried to take the America's place.
Not regrets.

Yet, the song is a nice mid-tempo ballad with Latin rhythms flavor.

What follows, it concerns the single version
Here's the introduction riff TAB:



Here's start the lyrics and the rhythmic guitar:
this is the studio version
 
       Am7                                               F/G
For-give me if my fantasies,        Might seem a little shop worn

I'm sure you've heard it all before, And wonder what's the right form

Love songs written for you, Have been goin' down for years

But to sing what's in my heart, Seems more honest than the tears




   Dm7  C               Bb7M    C
I am curious  don't wanna hurry us
I'm intrigued with us  ain't this song a bust 
Am7
I don't care

Dark star


  Dm               Am                            Cm                         Eb
I met you several years ago,    The times they were so strange  But I   Dm7          Gsus4/A                       Dm7

had  a feeling
  Dm                       Am                    Cm                        Eb  
You looked into my eyes just once An instant passing by that we
         Dm7          Gsus4/A                       Dm7
were stealing
  Dm                       Am                    Cm                        Eb
Another time you felt so bad and I wasn't Any help at all as I 
 Dm7          Gsus4/A                       Dm7 
recall
   Dm                       Am                        Cm                        Eb
We didn't know quite what to do so we left  The wanting be still 
   Dm7          Gsus4/A                       Dm7 
there for me and you

Am7                       Cm7
Dark star              I see you in the morning
Dark star            as sleeping next to me
Dark star  may the memory of the evening


        Dm/B                           
Be the first thing that you think of
       Bb7M9
When open up your eyes and see me 
  Dm7          Gsus4/A                      Dm7
