Song: Dark Star
By:   Crosby, Stills & Nash

[intro:]  {percussion  for 4 bars}
          4 x [ Am   G ]  {band kicks in}

[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  Dsus4   Dm7 Dsus4     {xx0211  xx0233}     
I don't care,   dark star
 
[verse: 2]
  Dm7             Am7
I met you several years ago
     Cm7                Eb                   Dm7
The times they were so strange but I had a feeling
     Dm7           Am7
You looked into my eyes just once
    Cm7             Eb                Dm7
An instant flashing by that we were stealing
 Dm7             Am7
Another time you felt so bad
      Cm7         Eb               Dm7
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall
    Dm7              Am7
We didn't know quite what to do
      Cm7             Eb                 Dm7
So we let the feeling be still there for me and you
 
[chorus:]
 Am             Cm
Dark star    I see you in the morning
Am             Cm
Dark star    sleeping next to me
Am                    Cm
Dark star    let the memory of the evening
        Bm7b5
Be the first thing that you think of when you
 Bb                               Dm7  Dsus4   Dm7 Dsus4    
Open up your smile and see me,  dark star
 
[verse: 3]
     Dm7        Am7
It's easy to be with you
     Cm7                   Eb                 Dm7   
Even with the storms that rage beneath your search for peace
Dm7               Am7
We must make some time together
Cm7               Eb                   Dm7
Take the kids and find a world that's ours to keep
Dm7               Am7
Now you've got me dreaming girl
     Cm7            Eb                  Dm7
It's been so long I thought that I'd forgotten how
   Dm7            Am7
My heart is once again my soul
   Cm7                Eb                   Dm7
We touched we did you know we did no more teasing now
 
[chorus:]

Open up your smile and see me,  dark star
