verse 1 
 
G       C                        D        
Cassidy, is reggae music playing on the beach 
C                            G       G/F#         Em 
Blue moon tonight, and there isn't a cloud in the sky 
C                D                 G                    
Grab your Swiss Army Knife and the blanket and meet me outside 
C    D 
Yeah, come on 
G       C                         D 
Cassidy, the things I lean on are slippery 
C       
But I know I love you 
        G          G/F#    Em 
And you make it so hard to leave 
C             D                   G             C             D 
But I'll keep loving you 'til I'm only a memory, we spend our whole lives movin'  
 
Bridge 
 
G       Em     C        D   
On             reachin' out for lovin' 
 
G       Em     C            D                   G - 
Arms           the night is young come out with me 
 
C -  G            D 
Cassidy, with the ocean in your hair 
              G - C  - G 
Come out with me, Cassidy! 
        D 
I'll be tangled up tonight but tomorrow 
D7 
I'll be up in the air, c'mon 
 
verse 2 
 
G           C                      D 
County line, crazy waves down from Caroline 
C                         G             G/F#    Em 
All the smoke hung in the air while the sun was setting 
C           D                   G                    C   D 
You said it looked just like an oil spill in heaven,       don't say  
G 
fair thee well 
C                            D 
You got that anxious feeling I can tell 
C              D              G      G/F#     Em             C        
You're getting antsy let's go up to Neptune's Net and have a drink 
G                                              C             D 
And plan a trip somewhere to a beach in a magazine, spent my whole life movin' 
 
Bridge 
 
G       Em     C        D   
On             reachin' out for lovin' 
 
G       Em     C            D                   G - 
Arms           the night is young come out with me 
 
C -  G            D 
Cassidy, with the ocean in your hair 
              G - C  - G 
Come out with me, Cassidy! 
        D 
I'll be tangled up tonight but tomorrow 
D7 
I'll be up in the air 
 
verse 3 
 
G       C                           D 
Cassidy, I love the feeling of sand on my feet 
C                                   G          G/F#    Em                  C        D 
With salt on my skin, you say you'd never wear clothes again if you didn't have to 
           G                                          C        D 
You know I can't really be that free but I sure would like to, show me, show me,  
G            C                        D 
Show me love, no one else can make me open up 
C 
The way you do 
      G            G/F#       Em 
I was livin' in my own little prison 
C           D          G                      C            D 
I used to decorate the walls that kept me in, we spend our whole lives moving' 
 
Bridge 
 
G       Em     C        D   
On             reachin' out for lovin' 
 
G       Em     C            D                   G - 
Arms           the night is young come out with me 
 
C -  G            D 
Cassidy, with the ocean in your hair 
              G - C  - G            D                                G - 
Come out with me, Cassidy! with the ocean in your hair come out with me 
 
C -  G            D 
Cassidy, with the ocean in your hair 
              G - C  - G 
Come out with me, Cassidy! 
        D 
I'll be tangled up tonight but tomorrow 
D7 
I'll be up in the air
