  • Verse 1

    Casey 
    joins 
    the 
    hollow 
    sound 

    of 
    silent 
    people 
    walking 
    down 

    The 
    stairway 
    to 
    the 
    subway 

    in 
    the 
    shadows 
    down 
    below 

    Following 
    their 
    footsteps 

    through 
    the 
    neon 
    darkened 
    corridors 

    Of 
    silent 
    desperation, 

    never 
    speakin' 
    to 
    soul 

    The 
    poison 
    air 
    he's 
    breathin' 

    has 
    the 
    dirty 
    smell 
    of 
    dying 

    'Cause 
    it's 
    never 
    seen 
    the 
    sunshine 

    and 
    it's 
    never 
    felt 
    the 
    rain 

    But 
    Casey 
    minds 
    the 
    arrows 

    and 
    ig
    nores 
    the 
    fatal 
    echoes 

    Of 
    the 
    clickin' 
    of 
    the 
    turnstiles 

    and 
    the 
    rattle 
    of 
    his 
    chains 


    Chorus 1
    "Oh," 
    she 
    said, 
    "Casey, 
    it's 
    been 
    so 
    long 

    since 
    I've 
    seen 
    you" 

    "Here," 
    she 
    said, 
    "Just 
    kiss 

    to 
    make 
    body 
    smile" 

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

    just 
    to 
    please 
    you" 

    "Lord," 
    she 
    said, 
    "Casey, 

    can 
    you 
    only 
    stay 
    while?" 

    Verse 2

    Casey 
    leaves 
    the 
    underground 

    and 
    stops 
    inside 
    the 
    Golden 
    Crown 

    For 
    something 
    wet 
    to 
    wipe 
    away 

    the 
    chill 
    that's 
    on 
    his 
    bone 

    Seeing 
    his 
    reflection 

    in 
    the 
    lives 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    lonely 
    men 

    Who 
    reach 
    for 
    any
    thing 
    they 
    can 

    to 
    keep 
    from 
    goin' 
    home 

    Standin' 
    in 
    the 
    corner 

    Casey 
    drinks 
    his 
    pint 
    of 
    bitter 

    Never 
    glancing 
    in 
    the 
    mirror 

    at 
    the 
    people 
    passing 
    by 

    Then 
    he 
    stumbles 
    as 
    he's 
    leaving 

    and 
    he 
    wonders 
    if 
    the 
    reason 

    Is 
    the 
    beer 
    that's 
    in 
    his 
    belly, 

    or 
    the 
    tear 
    that's 
    in 
    his 
    eye 


    Chorus 2
    "Oh," 
    she 
    said, 
    "I 
    suppose 
    you 
    seldom 

    think 
    a
    bout 
    me" 

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

    of 
    your 
    own" 

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

    to 
    feel 
    your 
    body" 

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

    to 
    be 
    a
    lone

    • 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.
