[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
*KEY CHANGE*
[Chorus 3]
A E
Oh she said, Casey it's been so long since I've seen you
E A
Here she said, just a kiss to make a body smile
A E
See she said, I put on new stockings just to please you
E A
Lord she said, Casey can you only stay a while
[Outro]
E A
Lord she said, Casey it's a shame to be alone
