Chords for Casey's Last Ride

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