Casey's Last Ride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Cas[Am]ey joins the hollow sound of si
[G]lent 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
Of [F]si lent desperation,
never [E]speakin' to a soul
[F]The poison air he's breathin' has
[C]the dirty smell of dying
'Cause it's [D]never seen the sunshine
and it's [E]never felt the rain
But [Am]Casey minds the arrows and
ig[G]nores the fatal echoes
Of [F]the clickin' of the turnstiles and the
[E]rattle of his [Am]chains
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
"Oh," she said, "Casey,
it's been [G]so [C]long since [G]I've seen [Am]you"[G]
"Here," she said,
"Just a kiss to make a body [C]smile"[G][C]
"See," she said,
"I've put on new stocking[G]s just to please [Am]you"[G]
"Lord," she said, "Casey,
can you only stay a while?"
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Casey leaves the under ground [G]and stops
inside the Golden Crown
[F]For something wet to wipe away
[E]the chill that's on his bone
[Am]Seeing his reflection in the l[G]ives
of all the lonely men
Who [F]reach for any thing they can
[E]to keep from goin' home
[F]Standin' in the corner, Casey,
[C]drinks his pint of bitter
Never [D]glancing in the mirror at the
[E]people passing by
[Am]Then he stumbles as he's leaving
and he [G]wonders if the reason
Is [F]the beer that's in his belly,
or the [E]tear that's in his [Am]eye
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
"Oh," she said,
"I suppose you seldom think [G]about [Am]me"[G]
"Now," she said, "Now that you've
a family of your [C]own"[Dm][C]
"Still" she said, "It's so blessed [G]good
to feel your [Am]body"[G]
"Lord," she said" "Casey,

[Outro 1]
it's a shame to be alone"
[C][Dm][Am][Dm][G][C]
