Cassidy
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/grateful_dead/cassidy_crd.html ]
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

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.

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.
