Caseys Last Ride chords

_ Am _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ Casey joins the hollow sound of Em silent G people walking down F the stairway to the subway in.
E the shadows down below.
_ Am Following their footsteps through G the neon darkened corridors F of silent desperation,.
E never speaking to a soul.
The _ _ _ F.
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 and G ignores the fatal echoes of F the clicking of the turnstiles.
E and the rattle of A his chain.
Am _ _ _ G _ _ Am _ G _ C _ .
Oh, she said, _ Casey it's been so long G since I've seen C you.
G _ _ Here, she said, just a kiss to make a body C smile.
Gm _ .
C _ _ See, she said, I've put on new G stockings just to please you.
Am _ G _ _ .
Lord, she said, Casey can you only stay C a while.
_ B _ Am _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ Casey leaves the underground G and stops inside the golden F crown for something wet to wipe away E the chill that's on his bones.
Am Seeing his reflection G in the lives of all the lonely men F who reach for anything they E can to keep from going home.
_ _ _ _ F.
Standing in the corner, Casey C drinks his pint of bitter, never D.
glancing in the mirror E at the people passing by.
Then Am he stumbles as he's leaving and G he wonders if the reason is the F fear that's in his belly or E the tear that's in his Am eye.
_ _ _ G _ _ Am _ B _ C _ .
Oh, she said, I suppose you seldom G think about me.
C _ 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.
C _ _ G _ Lord, she said, Casey it's a shame to be C alone.
