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