Kris Kristofferson – Caseys Last Ride chords
Chords:
Am G Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking downAm Em The stairway to the subway and the shadows down belowAm G Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridorsAm Em Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soulVerse 2:Am C The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dieingD Em Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rainAm G Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoesAm Em Am Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chainsVerse 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 crownAm Em For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bonesAm G Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely menAm Em Who reach for anything they can to keep from going homeVerse 5:Am C Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitterD Em Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing byAm G He stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reasonAm Em Am Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eyeVerse 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"
