Caseys Last Ride by Kris Kristofferson
Caseys Last Ride
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: Am
[Verse 1]
Am G
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
F Em
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Am G
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
F Em
Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soul
[Verse 2]
F Am
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dieing
G 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
F 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"
[Verse 4]
Am G
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
F 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
F Em
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
[Verse 5]
F Am
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter
G 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
F 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"
