Chords for Casey's Last Ride

[N] _ [Am] Casey _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ joins the hollow [G] sound of silent people walking [F] down the stairway to the subway [E] in
the shadows down below.
[Am] Following their footsteps [G] through the neon darkened corridors [F] of silent desperation,
never [E] speaking to a soul.
_ _ _ [F] The poison air he's breathing [C] has the dirty smell of dying [D] cause it's never seen the sunshine
[E] and it's never felt the rain. _
[Am] But Casey minds the arrows [G] and ignores the fatal echoes [F] of the clicking of the turnstiles
[E] and the rattle [A] of his chain.
Oh [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
she said, oh she said, Casey [G] it's been so [Em] long since I've seen [G] you.
_ _ Here she said, just a kiss to make a body [C] smile.
_ [G] _
[C] _ See she said, I've put on [G] new [F] stockings [G] just to please you.
[F] _ _ [G] _ Lord she said, Casey can [E] you [C] only stay a while.
_ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Casey leaves the underground [G] and stops inside the golden [F] crown for something wet to wipe
[E] away the chill that's on his bone.
[Am] Seeing his reflection [G] in the lives of all the lonely [F] men who reach for anything they
[E] can to keep from going home.
_ _ _ _ [F] Standing in the corner [C] Casey drinks his final bitter [D] never glancing in the mirror [E] at the
people passing by. _
[Am] Then he stumbles as he's leaving [G] and he wonders if the reason is [F] the beer that's in his belly
or [E] the tear that's in his [Am] eye. _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ [C] _
Oh she said, I [G] suppose you seldom think about [Am] me.
[G] _ _ Now she said, now that you've a family [C] of your own.
[G] _ [C] _
Still she said, it's so [G] blessed good to feel your body.
_ [Am] [G] Lord _ she said, Casey it's a shame to [C] be alone. _
