INTRO RIFF x5
 Em                              D
Casey joins the hollow sounds of silent people walking down
    C                              Bm
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Em                                  D
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
C                            Bm
Of silent desperation, never speaking to a soul
C                                    Em
The poision air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
           D                                Bm
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
Em                         D
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
C                                         Bm                Em
Of the twisting of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains
 G                                                D
"oh", she said "Casey its been so long since I've seen you"
                                             G
"Here", she said "Just a kiss to make a body smile"
                                                    D
"See", she said "I've put on new stockings just to please you"
                                          G
"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay awhile"

PLAY INTRO RIFF X3

Em                               D
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
    C                              Bm
For something wet to wash away the chill that's in his bones
Em                           D
Seeing his reflection in the lifes of all the lonley men
    C                              Bm
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
C                             Em
Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter
      D                             Bm
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
   Em                              D
He stumbles as he's leaving 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
 G                                               D
"oh", she said "I suppose that you seldom think about me"
                                                  G
"Now", she said "Now that you've a family of your own"
                                                         D
"Still", she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your body"
                                          G
"Lord" she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"
