CASEY'S LAST RIDE ACORDES
[Start] [Intro] Cm Bb Ab Abmaj7 Ab Bb ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] Cm Bb Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down Ab G The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below Cm Bb Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Ab G G7 Of silent desperation never speakin' to a soul ■ Ab Eb The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dying F G 'cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain Cm Cm7 Bb But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Ab G Cm Bb Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains ■ [Chorus] Cm Eb Bb Eb ■ ■ Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've seen you Bb Bb7 Eb ■ Here she said Just a kiss to make a body smile Bb Eb See she said I've put on new stockings just to please you Bb Cm7 Eb ■ Lord she said Casey can you only stay a while [Inst] Cm Bb Abmaj7 Ab ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] Cm Bb Casey leaves the under ground and stops inside the Golden Crown Ab G7 G For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone Cm Bb Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Ab G G7 Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin' home ■ Ab Eb Standin' in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter F7 F G Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Cm Bb Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason Ab G7 Cm Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye Dm7 Bb Cm7 Eb ■ ■ ■ ■ [Chorus] Bb Eb Oh she said I suppose you seldom think about me Bb Eb ■ Now she said Now that you've a family of your own Bb Eb Still she said It's so blessed good to feel your body ■ Bb Bb7 Eb Cm Ab Eb ■ Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be alone ■ ■ ■ [Outro]
