Cassidy

Grateful Dead



I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.
 FBb
 I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream
 FBb
 Ah, child of countless trees.                   
 Fm7Bbm
 Ah, chile of boundless seas
 Fm7Bbm
 What you are; what you're meant to be
 Gm(addABb
                                                                         TYPED BY CURT WILSON ST9996@SIUCVMB.SIU.EDU OR ST9996@SIUCVMB.BITNET
Speaks his name, though you were born to me
 Gm(AddABb
 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
 BbF
 Catch-colt draws a coffin cart
 BbF
 There he goes and how here she starts
 BbF
 Hear her cry               
 CGm7F
 Flight of the sea-birds
 CGm7F
 Scattered like the lost words  
 CGm7F
 Wheel to the storm and fly         
 CBbF
 Faring thee well, now  let your life proceed by it's own design
 FBb
 Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
 FBb
 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.

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

 There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry
 Gm7FC
         Flight of the seabirds,
 Gm7FC
         Scattered like lost words
 CBbF
 Wheel to the storm and fly
(Go through the verse chords again)
(2x):
 FBb
 Faring the well now, let your life proceed by its own design
 FBb
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.
