• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Verse 1:
      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?

Verse 2:
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?


Verse 3:
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?
