Casey joins the hollow sound of si
G
lent people walking down
F
The stairway to the subway in
E
the shadows down below
Am
Following their footsteps through
G
the neon darkened corridors
F
Of si lent desperation,
E
never speakin' to a soul
F
The poison air he's breathin' has
C
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 and
G
ignores the fatal echoes
F
Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the
E
Am
rattle of his chains

Verse 3
Am
G
Casey leaves the under ground and stops
inside the Golden Crown
F
For something wet to wipe away

Am
G
Seeing his reflection in the lives
of all the lonely men
F
Who reach for any thing they can
E
to keep from goin' home
F
Standin' in the corner, Casey,
C
drinks his pint of bitter
D
Never glancing in the mirror at the
E
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
