Casey's Last Ride

Tom: A

Introdução:

   Am                                                                                                               G 
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down,
                   F                                                                                                                 E 
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below.
           Am                                                                                                                           G 
Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors,
                 F                                                                                                       E 
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul.
                 F                                                                                                                                       C                                   Am 
The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying,
                             Dm                                                                                                                           E 
'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain.
                 Am                                                                                                           G 
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes,
                               F                                                                                                         E                                         Am 
Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains.

     C                                                                                                                         G 
"Oh," she said: "Casey, it's been so long since I've seen you.
       G7                                                             Dm                           G7                                           C 
"Here," she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile.
       C                                                                                                                                               G 
"See," she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you.
     G7                                                       Dm                                                   G7                             C 
"Lord," she said. "Casey, can you only stay a while."

     Am                                                                                                                             G 
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside The Golden Crown,
                     F                                                                                                                           E 
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones.
         Am                                                                                       G 
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men,
                   F                                                                                                                   E 
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home.
         F                                                                                                                 C                                             Am 
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter,
                       Dm                                                                                                 E 
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by.
               Am                                                                                                                             G 
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason,
                     F                                                                                                     E                                           Am 
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye.

       C                                                                                                                   G 
"Oh," she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me.
     G7                                                     Dm                                                 G7                                         C 
"Now," she said: "now that you've a family of your own.
       C                                                                                                                   G 
"Still," she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body.
     G7                                                       Dm                               G7                                           C 
"Lord," she said: "Casey, it's a shame to be alone."
