Verse 1
(E major) (A minor) Casey joins the hollow sound of si
(G major) lent people walking down
The stairway (F major) to the subway in
the shadows (E major) down below
(A minor) Following their footsteps through
the neon (G major) darkened corridors
Of (F major) si lent desperation,
never speakin' (E major) to a soul
The poison (F major) air he's breathin' has
the dirty (C major) 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 clickin' (F major) of the turnstiles and the
(E major) rattle of his (A minor) chains
(G major) (A minor) (G major)
Verse 2
(C major)
"Oh," she said, "Casey,
it's been (G major) so long (C major) since (G major) I've seen you" (A minor) (G major)
"Here," she said,
"Just a kiss to make a body smile" (C major) (G major) (C major)
"See," she said,
"I've put on new stocking (G major) s just to please you" (A minor) (G major)
"Lord," she said, "Casey,
can you only stay a while?"
(C major) (G major) (A minor)

Verse 3
(A minor) Casey leaves the under ground and stops (G major)
inside the Golden Crown
For something (F major) wet to wipe away
the chill (E major) 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 any thing they can
to keep (E major) from goin' home
Stand (F major) in' in the corner, Casey,
drinks (C major) his pint of bitter
Never glan (D major) cing in the mirror at the
(E major) people passing by
Then he stumbles (A minor) 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) (A minor) (G major)
Verse 4
(C major)
"Oh," she said,
"I suppose you seldom think about (G major) me" (A minor) (G major)
"Now," she said, "Now that you've
a family of your (C major) own" (D minor) (C major)
"Still" she said, "It's so blessed (G major) good
to feel your body" (A minor) (G major)
"Lord," she said" "Casey,
Outro 1
it's a shame to be alone"
(C major) (D minor) (A minor) (D minor) (G major) (C major)
