Caseys Last Ride

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


[Verse 2]

             F             
        The poison air he's 
                   C
breathing has a dirty smell of dying
                    Dm           
        Cause it's never seen the 
                     E
sunshine and it's never felt the 
rain
             Am                    
        But Casey minds the arrows 
     G
and ignores the fatal echoes
                 F            
        Of the clicking of the 
                     E         
turnstile and the rattle of his 
     Am
chains

          C                        
        "Oh", she said "Casey it's 
                             G
been so long since I've seen you"
        "Here", she said "Just a 
                      C
kiss to make a body smile"
        "See", she said "I've put on
                               G
 new stockings just to please you"
        "Lord", she said "Casey can 
                 C
you only stay a while"


[Verse 3]

          Am                       
        Casey leaves the 
       G
underground and stops inside the 
golden crown
              F                  
        For something wet to wipe 
            E
away the chill that's on his bones
          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


[Verse 4]

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

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