[Verse 1]
Am Am G G
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
F F Em Em
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Am Am G G
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
F F Em Em
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul


[Verse 2]
F F Am Am
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dieing
G G Em Em
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
Am Am G G
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
F F Em Em Am Am
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains


[Verse 3]
C C G G
"Oh", she said "Casey it's been so long since i've seen you"
C C
"Here", she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
G G
"See", she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
C C
"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile"


[Verse 4]
Am Am G G
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
F F Em Em
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
Am Am G G
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
F F Em Em
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home


[Verse 5]
F F Am Am
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter
G G Em Em
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Am Am G G
He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
F F Em Em Am Am
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye


[Verse 6]
C C G G
"Oh", she said "I suppose that you seldom think about me"
C C
"Now", she said "Now that you've a family of your own"
G G
"Still", she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"
C C
"Lord", she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"
