This song was written in Hawaii as Graham & David had just a few hours before their flight back to Los Angeles. Graham was buying some grass from a cheeky dweeb named Spider who said, "You're supposed to be some big-time songwriter. I'll bet you can't write a song before you go." Graham says, "Oh yeah? How much?" Spider says, "A hundred bucks" Forty minutes later Graham had written in a school composition book this song that became CSN's biggest hit that thay had had in twenty weeks. The composition book with the original manuscript is housed in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. (Other variations of how this song came to be exist.) |

Em Bm
Just a song before I go,
C Am
to whom it may concern.
Em Bm
Travelling twice the speed of sound,
C Am
it's easy to get burned.
G F
When the shows were over,
Am Bm
we had to get back home
G F
And when we opened up the door,
Am C D
I had to be alone.
Em Bm
She helped me with my suitcase,
C Am
she stands before my eyes
Em Bm
Driving me to the airport,
C Am
and to the friendly skies.
G F
Going through security,
Am Bm
I held her for so long.
G F
She finally looked at me in love,
Am C D
and she was gone.
