Caseys Last Ride

          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 the
         G
 neon darkened corridors
           F                       
Of silent desperation,never 
  Em
speaking to a soul

[Verse 2]
            F                      
The poison air he's breathing has a
          Am
 dirty smell of dieing
                   G               
Cause it's never seen the sunshine 
                 Em
and it's never felt the rain
         Am                        
Casey minds the arrows and ignores 
 G
the fatal echoes
                F                  
Of the clicking of the turnstile 
               Em              Am
and the rattle of his chains

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]
         Am                     
Casey leaves the underground and 
         G
stops inside the golden crown
             F                     
For something wet to wipe away the 
         Em
chill that's on his bones
         Am                        
Seeing his reflection in the lives 
   G
of all the lonely men
             F                     
Who reach for anything they can to 
        Em
keep from going home

[Verse 5]
         F                         
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks
  Am
 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 belly or 
            Em                 Am
the tear that's in his eye

[Verse 6]
         C                       
"Oh",she said "I suppose that 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 blessed 
                              G
and good to feel your body"
"Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame 
                C
to be alone"
