Crosby Stills and Nash [intro] [percussion starts, 4 measures, then:] Am G Am G Am G Am G [verse 1]
Am                               G
Forgive me if my fantasies might seem a little shopworn

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

Am                                    G
Love songs written for you  it's been going down for years

       Am                                 G
But to sing what's in my heart seems more honest than the tears
[pre-chorus]
     Dm      C               Bb       C
I am curious,  Don't want to hurry us,

      Dm              C             Bb          C
I'm intrigued with us,   Ain't this song a bust
Dm7 [hold and groove] I don't care, Dark star [verse 2]
  Dm7             Am7
I met you several years ago

    Cm7                Gm7                 Dm7
The times they were so strange but I had a feeling

    Dm7            Am7
You looked into my eyes just once

   Cm7              Gm7             Dm7
An instant flashing by that we were stealing

 Dm7             Am7
Another time you felt so bad

      Cm7        Gm7            Dm7
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall

   Dm7               Am7
We didn't know quite what to do

      Cm7              Gm7                Dm7
So we left the wanting be still there for me and you
[chorus]
Am             Cm
Dark star,   I see you in the morning

Am             Cm
Dark star,   a-sleeping next to me

Am                   Cm
Dark star,   let the memory of the evening

       Bm
Be the first thing that you think of when you

Bb                              Dm
Open up your smile and see me,  Dark star
[verse 3]
     Dm7        Am7
It's easy to be with you

     Cm7                  Gm7               Dm7
Even with the storms that rage beneath your search for peace

Dm7               Am7
We must make some time together

Cm7               Gm7                 Dm7
Take the kids and find a world that's ours to keep

Dm7               Am7
Now you've got me dreaming girl

     Cm7            Gm7                 Dm7
It's been so long I thought that I'd forgotten how

   Dm7            Am7
My heart is once again my soul

   Cm7                Gm7                 Dm7
We touched we did you know we did no more teasing now
