Verse 1
(A minor) (A minor)
(A minor) Casey joins the hollow sound
of (G major) silent people walking down
The (F major) stairway to the subway
in the (E major) shadows down below
(A minor) Following their footsteps
through the (G major) neon darkened corridors
Of (F major) silent desperation,
never (E major) speakin' to a soul
The poison (F major) air he's breathin'
has the (C major) dirty smell of dying
'Cause it's (D major) never seen the sunshine
and it's (E major) never felt the rain
But (A minor) Casey minds the arrows
and ig (G major) nores the fatal echoes
Of the (F major) clickin' of the turnstiles
and the (E major) rattle of his (A minor) chains
(G major)
Chorus 1
(C major) "Oh," she said, "Casey, it's been so long
since I've (G major) seen you"
(G major) "Here," she said, "Just a kiss
to make a body (C major) smile"
(C major) "See," she said, "I've put on new stockings
just to (G major) please you"
(G major) "Lord," she said, "Casey,
can you only stay a (C major) while?"

Verse 2
(A minor) (A minor)
(A minor) Casey leaves the underground
and (G major) stops inside the Golden Crown
For (F major) something wet to wipe away
the (E major) chill that's on his bone
(A minor) Seeing his reflection
in the lives (G major) of all the lonely men
Who (F major) reach for anything they can
to keep (E major) from goin' home
(F major) Standin' in the corner
Casey (C major) drinks his pint of bitter
Never (D major) glancing in the mirror
at the (E major) people passing by
Then he (A minor) stumbles as he's leaving
and he (G major) wonders if the reason
Is the beer (F major) that's in his belly,
or the (E major) tear that's in his eye (A minor)
(G major)
Chorus 2
(C major) "Oh," she said, "I suppose you seldom
think about (G major) me"
(G major) "Now," she said, "Now that you've a family
of your (C major) own"
(C major) "Still" she said, "It's so blessed good
to feel your (G major) body"
(G major) "Lord," she said, "Casey, it's a shame
to be alone (C major)
(D minor) (G major)
(C major) (C major)
