[Intro]
E A
(x4)
[Verse 1]
E A
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream
E A
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream
Em7 Am
Ah, child of countless trees
Em7 Am
Ah, child of boundless seas
F#m A
What you are, what you're meant to be
F#m A E
Speaks his name though you were born to me, born to me, Cassidy
E A
(x4)
[Verse 2]
E A
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac,
E A
I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back
Em7 Am
Come wash the nighttime clean
Em7 Am
Come grow the scorched ground green
F#m A
Blow the horn and tap the tambourine
F#m A E
Close the gap on the dark years in between you and me, Cassidy
A E
Quick beats of an icy heart
A E
Catch-colt draws a coffin cart
A E B
There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry
F#m7 E B
Flight of the seabirds
F#m7 E B
Scattered like lost words
F#m7 E B A E
Wheel to the storm and fly
E A
(x4)
[Verse 3]
E A
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by its own design
E A
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours I'm done with mine
E A
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by its own design
E A
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours I'm done with mine
F#m7 E B
Flight of the seabirds
F#m7 E B
Scattered like lost words
F#m7 E B A E
Wheel to the storm and fly
[Outro]
E A
