ABBA – Cassandra (Guitar)

C                              F           C
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting

        G/B              Am      G
Staying alive though the city is dead

G/F          C/E          G7     C
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter

      C/E     F      D7            G
While you are crying alone in your bed

C                   F        C
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you

         G/B            Am            G
But then again you were lost from the start

G/F         C/E        F/A      C/G
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets

F6       G       Am     Dm7    G      C
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts

C/G               G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

                    C
Now the last day is dawning

C/G                   G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could

                   C
Listen to words of warning

                      E
But on the darkest of nights

       Am          E
Nobody knew how to fight

E7                        Am
And we were caught in our sleep

                  G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

                   C
You really had the power

                 G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave

                C
Until the final hour

C                      F            C
So in the morning your ship will be sailing

              G/B        Am         G
Now that your father and sister are gone

G/F         C/E        G7     C
There is no reason for you to linger

       C/E      F          D7           G
You're grieving deeply but still moving on

C                      F         C
You know the future is casting a shadow

            G/B         Am            G
No one else sees it but you know your fate

G/F          C/E         F/A      C/G
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough

F6       C             Am         Dm7     G       C
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait

C/G               G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

                    C
Now the last day is dawning

C/G                   G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could

                   C
Listen to words of warning

                      E
But on the darkest of nights

       Am          E
Nobody knew how to fight

E7                        Am
And we were caught in our sleep

                  G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

                   C
You really had the power

                 G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave

                C
Until the final hour

C                          F         C
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise

             G/B          Am           G
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain

G/F          C/E          F/A  C/G
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure

F6    G      Am       Dm7       G           C
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain

C/G               G7
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood

                    C
Now the last day is dawning

C/G                   G7
Some of us wanted but none of us could

                   C
Listen to words of warning

                      E
But on the darkest of nights

       Am          E
Nobody knew how to fight

E7                        Am
And we were caught in our sleep

                  G7
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe

                   C
You really had the power

                 G7
I only saw it as dreams you would weave

                C
Until the final hour

G7        G7    G7   G7       C   C   C   C
          I'm sorry Cassandra

G7        G7    G7   G7       C   C   C   C
          I'm sorry Cassandra
