Casey's Last Ride chords and lyrics - ALISON KRAUSS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]Ca[C][G][F][G]
[Am]sey
joins the hollow sound
[C]of sil[G]ent people
walking down the [F]stairway to the subway,
in shad[E]ows down below.
Fol[Am]lowing their footsteps
through the [G]neon darkened corridors
of [F]silent desperation,
never speak[E]ing to a soul.
The [F]poison air he's breathing
has the [C]dirty smell of dying
Cause it's [D]never seen the sunshine,
and it's [E]never felt the rain
But [Am]Kesey minds the arrows
and ig[G]nores the fatal echoes
Of the [F]clicking of the turnstiles
and the [E]rattle of his [Am]chains[G][C][G]
[C]Oh, she said, Casey,
it's been so long since
[G]I've seen [C]you.[G]
Here, she said,
just a kiss to make a body [C]smile.
I put on new stockings just to please you
[G]Lor[C]d, she[G] said, Casey,
can you only stay a [C]while?[Am]
Casey leaves the underground
and [G]stops inside the golden room
[F]The sun can wipe away
the [E]chill that's in his bones
See[Am]ing his reflection
in the [G]lives of all the lonely men
They'll [F]reach for anything
they can [E]keep from going home
He's [F]standing in the corner,
Casey [C]drinks his pint of bitter
Never [D]glancing in the mirror
at the [E]people passing by
He [Am]stumbles and he's leaving
and he [G]wonders if the reason is
the [F]beer that's in his belly
or [E]the tear that's in his [Am]eye[G]
[C]Oh, she said
I suppose you seldom
think [G]about [C]me[G]
Now, she said
Now that you've a family of [C]your own
Still, she said, it's so blessed
good to [Am]feel your [G]body
Lord, she said, Casey,
it's a shame to be [C]alone[Am]
Oh
[F][C][F][Dm][C]
