Then the rest is easy.  For the introduction here you have a tip:
through the introduction the 2nd string (B) makes something like this:
(the arpeggio will automatically do it, you don't have to worry about this)

B-1--0--3
(x6)

Then, here are the chords:
          (EADGBe)
C         (x3201x)
Cmaj7     (x3200x)
Cadd9     (x3203x)
Asus2     (x0220x)
Asus4     (x0223x)
Am        (x0221x)
G/B       (x2003x)
G         (3x000x)
Dm7       (xx0211)
D/F#      (2x023x)
Am/G      (3x221x)
Am add9   (x0750x)
G/A       (x0570x)
F(#11)/A  (x0350x)
F6(#11)/A (x0353x)


For G, D/F# and Am/G the arpeggio is played like this:

e|------------
B|-0------0---
G|----0-----0-
D|---0-----0--
A|------------
E|-0----0-----

|
|
|
|
|
|

And for Dm7 it is played like this:

e|-0------0---
B|----0-----0-
G|---0-----0--
D|-0----0-----
A|------------
E|------------

|
|
|
|
|
|

This is the last step:
Right when a paragraph is about to start there is an alteration in the arpeggio:

Example when the first sentence in a paragraph finishes: "#"

   Am         
e|------------
B|-1------1--1
G|----2-----2-
D|---2-----2--
A|-0----0----0
E|------------

    $ C             $ is G/B
--------|
--1-3-1-|
-2------|
2-------|
--0-2-3-|

After the intr
   Am   $ C (s
e|----------|
B|-1--1-3-1-|
G|---2------|
D|--2-------|
A|-0--0-2-3-|
E|----------|

oduction it is
tarting the pa

 only: "@"

But after the first Chorus it is played like this: *

   Am         
e|------------
B|-0h1----1---
G|------2----2
D|-----2----2-
A|--0----0----
E|------------

       $ C             $ is G/B
-----------|
-0h1---3-1-|
-----------|
-----------|
--0----2-3-|
-----------|

And in the instrumental part there is a very little alteration in the arpeggio that
you can practice after you've learned all the song:

   Amadd9  Ama

G|---5---5---5

For the introduction play:

[Verse 1]

    C   G/B Am     Am
I close my eyes,
G           Dm7            Am               Am
Only for a moment and the moment's gone. (here you play the alteration "#" instead of both Am)
C   G/B   Am    Am
All my dreams,
G               Dm7       Am      Am
Pass before my eyes a curiosity.


[Chorus 1]

D/F#  G           Am  Am/G
     Dust in the wind,
D/F#             G           Am
All they are is dust in the wind

(play this "*" when Am is said over "wind" at the end of the chorus)


[Verse 2]

C    G/bB Am   Am
Same old song,
G               Dm7        Am          Am (here you play "#" again instead of the Am's)
Just a drop of water in an endless sea,
C   G/B Am  Am
All we do,
G               Dm7               Am         Am
Crumbles to the ground tho' we refuse to see.


[Chorus 2]

D/F#  G           Am  Am/G
     Dust in the wind,
D/F#           G          Amadd9(x2)  G/A(x2)            F(#11)/A(x2)       F6(#11)/A F(#11)/A
All we are is dust in the wiiiiii-----iiiiiiiiiiiiiiind, ooooooooooooooh ho hooooooooooooo.


[Instrumental] (Here there is an instrumental part with the following chords)

Amadd9  Amadd9  G/A  G/A
F(#11)/A  F(#11)/A  F6(#11)/A  F(#11)/A (it is not a mistake, the last chord here is F(#11)/A)
REPEAT THIS ANOTHER TIME

INTRODUCTION AGAIN (with the alteration included)


[Verse 3]

      C     G/B    Am   Am
(Now) Don't ha-ang o-on,
G                Dm7          Am            Am (here you play "#" again instead of the Am's)
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
    C    G/b  Am    Am
It slips a-awa-a-ay,
    G              Dm7           Am         Am
And all your money won't another minute buy.


[Chorus 3]

D/F#  G           Am  Am/G
     Dust in the wind,
D/F#           G           Am                  Am/G
All we are is dust in the wind. (all we are is dust in the wind)
D/F#  G           Am                  Am/G
     Dust in the wind, (everything is dust in the wind)
D/F#           G           Am
Everything is dust in the wind
