Am G Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down Am Em The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below Am G Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors Am Em Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soul Verse 2: Am C The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dieing D Em Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain Am G Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Am Em Am Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains Verse 3: C G "Oh",she said "Casey it's been so long since i've seen you" C "Here",she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile" G "See",she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you" C "Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile" [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/k/kris-kristofferson/287098.html ] Verse 4: Am G Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown Am Em For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones Am G Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Am Em Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home Verse 5: Am C Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter D Em Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Am G He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason Am Em Am Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye Verse 6: C G "Oh",she said "I suppose that you seldom think about me" C "Now",she said "Now that you've a family of your own" G "Still",she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body" C "Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone" |
