Casey's Last Ride chords by Alison Krauss
Verse 1
Am
C
G
F
G
Ca
Am
sey
joins the hollow sound
C
G
of silent people
F
walking down the stairway to the subway,
E
in shadows down below.
Am
Following their footsteps
G
through the neon darkened corridors
F
of silent desperation,
E
never speaking to a soul.
F
The poison air he's breathing
C
has the dirty smell of dying
D
Cause it's never seen the sunshine,
E
and it's never felt the rain
Am
But Kesey minds the arrows
G
and ignores the fatal echoes
F
Of the clicking of the turnstiles
E
Am
G
C
G
and the rattle of his chains
C
Oh, she said, Casey,
it's been so long since
G
C
G
I've seen you.
Here, she said,
C
just a kiss to make a body smile.
I put on new stockings just to please you
G
C
G
Lord, she said, Casey,
C
Am
can you only stay a while?
Casey leaves the underground
G
and stops inside the golden room
F
The sun can wipe away
E
the chill that's in his bones
Am
Seeing his reflection
G
in the lives of all the lonely men
F
They'll reach for anything
E
they can keep from going home
F
He's standing in the corner,
C
Casey drinks his pint of bitter
D
Never glancing in the mirror
E
at the people passing by
Am
He stumbles and he's leaving
G
and he wonders if the reason is
F
the beer that's in his belly
E
Am
G
or the tear that's in his eye
C
Oh, she said
I suppose you seldom
G
C
G
think about me
Now, she said
C
Now that you've a family of your own
Still, she said, it's so blessed
Am
G
good to feel your body
Lord, she said, Casey,
C
Am
it's a shame to be alone
Oh
F
