Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Cassiels Song (Guitar)

      Eb                Ab
We've come to bring you home

F           Bb
Haven't we, Cassiel?

   Eb              Ab                C
To cast aside your loss and all your sadness

    Bb                                      Eb
And shuffle off that mortal coil and mortal madness

          Ab                                Eb
For we're here to pick you up and bring you home

F          Bb
Aren't we, Cassiel?

       Ab                        Eb
It's a place where you did not belong

      Ab                              Eb
Where time itself was mad and far too strong

      Bb                         F
Where life leapt up laughing and hit you head on

    Bb                  Bb        Eb
And hurt you, didn't it hurt you, Cassiel?

Eb            Ab          Eb             Ab
While time outran you and trouble flew toward you

    Eb                Ab
And you were there to greet it

F                    Bb
Weren't you, foolish Cassiel?

    F                  F
But here we are, we've come to call you home

    Bb                     Bb
And here you'll stay never more to stray

      F
Where you can kick off your boots of clay

Ab    Bb   Eb
Can't you, Cassiel?

Eb                               Bb
For death and you did recklessly collide

Eb                  Ab
And time ran out of you

    Ab      Eb     Ab
And you ran out of time

F           Bb
Didn't you, Cassiel?

    Eb                 Ab
And all the clocks, in all the world

Eb                 Ab             Eb
May this once just skip a beat in memory of you

Eb               Ab                Bb
Then again those damn clocks, they probably won't

F          Bb
Will they, Cassiel?

    Eb             Ab             Eb                Ab
One moment you are there and then strangely you are gone

Bb                                     Bb               Ab
But on behalf of all of us here we are glad to have you home

Bb              Eb
Aren't we, dear Cassiel?
