Intro: Am
Am G
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
F Em
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Am G
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridor
F Em Am
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul
F Am
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
G Em
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the
rain
Am G
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
F Em
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of the
Am
chains
C G
"Oh", she said "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you"
C
"Here," she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
"See," she said "I've put on new stockings just to please
G
you"
C
"Lord," she said "Casey can you only stay a while"
Instrumental:
Am G C Am
Am G
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden
crown
F Em
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's in his bones
Am G
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
F Em Am
Who reach for any thing they can to keep from going home
F Am
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter
G Em
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Am G
He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
F Em Am
Is the beer that's in his bell or the tear that's in his eye
C G
"Oh", she said "I suppose you seldom think about me"
C
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a family of your own
G
"Still", she said "It's so blesses good to feel your body
C
"Lord", she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"
Outro:
