Casey's Last Ride

Intro: Am

Am                            
Casey joins the hollow sound of 
  G
silent people walking down
    F                              
The stairway to the subway and the 
Em
shadows down below
Am                                
Following the footsteps through 
  G
the neon darkened corridor
   F                        
Of silent desperation, never 
 Em            Am
speaking to a soul


    F                              
The poison air he's breathing has a
 Am
 dirty smell of dying
           G                       
Cause it's never seen the sunshine 
         Em
and it's never felt the

rain
Am                           G
Casey minds the arrows and ignores 
the fatal echoes
       F                           
Of the clicking of the turnstile 
      Em
and the rattle of the
Am
chains

"Oh", she said "Casey it's been so 
                     G
long since I've seen you"
"Here," she said "Just a kiss to 
            C
make a body smile"

"See," she said "I've put on new 
stockings just to please
G
you"
"Lord," she said "Casey can you only
        C
 stay a while"


Instrumental:
Am G C Am


Am                               
Casey leaves the underground and 
G
stops inside the golden

crown
    F                              
For something wet to wipe away the 
Em
chill that's in his bones
Am                           G
Seeing his reflection in the lives 
of all the lonely men
    F                              
Who reach for any thing they can to
 Em              Am
 keep from going home


F                             Am
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks
 his pint of bitter
      G                            
Never glancing in the mirror at the
 Em
 people passing by
   Am                              
He stumbles as he's leaving and he 
G
wonders if the reason
       F                         
Is the beer that's in his bell or 
     Em                 Am
the tear that's in his eye

  C                                
"Oh", she said "I suppose you 
              G
seldom think about me"
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a 
               C
family of your own
"Still", she said "It's so blesses 
                  G
good to feel your body
"Lord", she said "Casey it's a shame
        C
 to be alone"
