[D] [C]
[B]
[E] [Em] Casey joins the hollow sound of [D] silent people walking down [C] the stairway to the subway in
the [B] shadows down below.
[E] [Em] Following their footsteps through [D] the neon darkened corridors [C] of silent desperation,
[B] never speaking to a soul.
[C] The poison air he's breathing has [G] the dirty smell of dying,
cause [A] 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
[C] of the clicking of the turnstile and [Bm] the rattle of [E] his chain.
[Em]
[D]
[G] Oh, she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you.
Here, she said, just a kiss to make a body smile.
See, she said, I put on new stockings just to [D] please you.
Lord, she said, Casey can you only stay [G] a while?
[B]
[E] Casey leaves the underground [D] and stops inside the golden crown
for [C] something wet to wipe away [B] the chill that's on his bones.
[E] Seeing his 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, [G] Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
[A] never glancing in the mirror at [B] the people passing by.
[E] And he stumbles as he's leaving [Em]
[D] and he wonders if the reason
[C] is the beer that's in his belly [Bm] or the tear that's in [E] his [Em] eye.
[D] Oh,
[G] she said, I suppose you seldom think about me.
Now, she said, now that you've a family of [G] your own.
Still, she said, it's so blessed good [D] to feel your body.
Lord, she said, Casey, it's a shame to be alone.
[G]
