Verse 1
Am
Am

Am

Casey joins the hollow sound
G

of silent people walking down
F

The stairway to the subway
E

in the shadows down below
Am

Following their footsteps
G

through the neon darkened corridors
F

Of silent desperation,
E

never speakin' to a soul
F

The poison air he's breathin'
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 Casey minds the arrows
G

and ignores the fatal echoes
F

Of the clickin' of the turnstiles
E
Am

and the rattle of his chains
G

Chorus 1
C

"Oh," she said, "Casey, it's been so long
G

since I've seen you"
G

"Here," she said, "Just a kiss
C

to make a body smile"
C

"See," she said, "I've put on new stockings
G

just to please you"
G

"Lord," she said, "Casey,
C

can you only stay a while?"
Verse 2
Am
Am

Am

Casey leaves the underground
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
G

in the lives of all the lonely men
F

Who reach for anything they can
E

to keep from goin' home
F

Standin' in the corner
C

Casey drinks his pint of bitter
D

Never glancing in the mirror
E

at the people passing by
Am

Then he stumbles as he's leaving
G

and he wonders if the reason
F

Is the beer that's in his belly,
E
Am

or the tear that's in his eye
G

Chorus 2
C

"Oh," she said, "I suppose you seldom
G

think about me"
G

"Now," she said, "Now that you've a family
C

of your own"
C

"Still" she said, "It's so blessed good
G

to feel your body"
G

"Lord," she said, "Casey, it's a shame
C

to be alone
Dm
G

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
