Casey's Last Ride Tab uke di Kris Kristofferson

[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"
