Verse 1:
LAm SOL
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
FA MIm
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
LAm SOL
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
FA MIm
Of silent desperation,never speaking to a sou
Verse 2:
FA LAm
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dieing
SOL MIm
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
LAm SOL
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
FA MIm LAm
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains
Verse 3:
DO SOL
"Oh",she said "Casey it's been so long since i've seen you"
DO
"Here",she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
SOL
"See",she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
DO
"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile"
Verse 4:
LAm SOL
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
FA MIm
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
LAm SOL
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
FA MIm
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
Verse 5:
FA LAm
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter
SOL MIm
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
LAm SOL
He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
FA MIm LAm
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Verse 6:
DO SOL
"Oh",she said "I suppose that you seldom think about me"
DO
"Now",she said "Now that you've a family of your own"
SOL
"Still",she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"
DO
"Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"
