[Intro]
Em D C B7
[Verse 1]
Em D Casey joins the hallow sound of silent people walking down C B7 The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below Em D Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors C B7 Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul C G The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying A B7 Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain Em D But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes C Bm Em Of the clicking of the turnstyle and the rattle of his chain
Dm D
[Chorus 1]
G D Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you D G Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile G D See she said, I put on new stockings just to please you D G B7 Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a while
[Verse 2]
Em D Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown C B7 For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Em D Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men C B7 Who reach for anything thay can to keep from going home C G Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter A B7 Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by Em D And he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason C Bm Em Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
Dm D
[Chorus 2]
G D Oh she said, I suppose you seldom think about me D G Now she said, now that you've a family of your own G D Still she said, it's so blessed good to feel your body D G Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
