Cassandra Chords by Abba

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Down in the street they're all singing [C] and shouting _
Staying alive [Em] though the [G] city's dead
Hiding [C] their shame behind hollow laughter
While you [F] are crying [G] alone on your bed
[C] Did it Cassandra that no one believed you?
But then again [Am] you were lost from the [G] start
Now [C] we must suffer [F] and [C] sell our secrets [F]
again
_ [G] [Am] Playing smart again [Em] in [C] our hearts
Sorry [G] Cassandra it means nothing good
Now the land [C] is stolen
Some of us [G] wanted but none of us would
Slip into [C] words of warning
But on the darkest [E] of nights nobody knew how to fight
_ [Am] _ _
_ Sorry Cassandra [G] I didn't believe you really had [C] the power
_ My only solace [G] dreams it would be until the [C] final hour
_ _ So in the morning your ship will be sailing _
Now that your father [Am] and sister [G] are gone
There [C] is no reason for you to linger
You're [F] breathing deeply [D] but still [G] moving on
_ [C] You know the future is cast in a shadow _ _ _
No [G] one else sees it but you know your fate
[Gm] Bagging your [C] bags, [F] being slow and thorough
_ _ [G]
Though you're late [Dm] that ship is [G] sure [C] to wake
Sorry Cassandra [G] it means nothing good
Now the land [C] is stolen
Some of us wanted [G] but none of us would
Slip into [C] words of warning _
But on the darkest [E] of nights nobody knew how to fight
_ [Am] _ _ _
Sorry Cassandra [G] I didn't believe you really [C] had the power
My only solace [G] dreams it would be until the [C] final hour _ _
_ I watched her ship leave in harbour at sunrise
Sails almost slack [Am] in the cool morning [G] rain
She stood on deck just [F] a tiny [C] figure
Rigid _ [G] and restrained [Dm] blue eyes filled [C] with pain
Sorry Cassandra [G] I misunderstood
_ Now the land's day [C] is done and
Some of us wanted [G] but none of us would
Listen to [C] words of warning
_ But on the darkest [E] of nights nobody knew how to
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ Sorry [G] Cassandra I didn't believe you really [C] had the power
My only [G] solace dreams it would be until the [C] final _ _ hour
