Cassidy

Weir/Barlow

I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.

F Bb

I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream

F Bb

Ah, child of countless trees.

Fm7 Bbm

Ah, chile of boundless seas

Fm7 Bbm

What you are; what you're meant to be

Gm(add A) Bb

TYPED BY CURT WILSON ST9996@SIUCVMB.SIU.EDU OR ST9996@SIUCVMB.BITNET

Speaks his name, though you were born to me

Gm(Add A) Bb

Born to me, cassidy

F

(Music is same for 2nd verse)

Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac

I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back

Come wash the nightime clean.

Come grow the scorched ground green.

Blow the horn, tap the tambourine.

Close the gap of the dark years in between

You and me, cassidy.

Quick beats in an icy heart

Bb F

Catch-colt draws a coffin cart

Bb F

There he goes and how here she starts

Bb F

Hear her cry

C Gm7 F

Flight of the sea-birds

C Gm7 F

Scattered like the lost words

C Gm7 F

Wheel to the storm and fly

C Bb F

Faring thee well, now let your life proceed by it's own design

F Bb

Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.

F Bb

Faring thee well

Song ends with a jam in F

2. Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac,

I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back

Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green

Blow the horn and tap the tambourine,

Close the gap on the dark years in between you and me, Cassidy.

Bb F Bb F

Quick beats of an icy heart, catch colt(?) draws a coffin cart

Bb F C

There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry

Gm7 F C

Flight of the seabirds,

Gm7 F C

Scattered like lost words

C Bb F

Wheel to the storm and fly

(Go through the verse chords again)

[2x]:

F Bb

Faring the well now, let your life proceed by its own design

F Bb

Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours I'm done with mine

Finally, go back to the "flight of the seabirds" bit and end on "fly"

That, more or less, is it. Good luck.
