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