Caseys Last Ride Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Intro: [Am]

[Am]Casey joins the hollow sound of [G]silent people walking down
The [F]stairway to the subway and the [Em]shadows down below
[Am]Following the footsteps through the [G]neon darkened corridor
Of [F]silent desperation, never [Em]speaking to a [Am]soul

The [F]poison air he's breathing has a [Am]dirty smell of dying
Cause it's [G]never seen the sunshine and it's [Em]never felt the

rain
[Am]Casey minds the arrows and ig[G]nores the fatal echoes
Of the [F]clicking of the turnstile and the [Em]rattle of the
[Am]chains

&qu[C]ot;Oh", she said "Casey it's been so long s[G]ince I've seen you"
"Here," she said "Just a kiss [C]to make a body smile"

"See," she said "I've put on new stockings just to please
[G]you"
"Lord," she said "Casey can y[C]ou only stay a while"

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [G] [C] [Am]

[Am]Casey leaves the underground and [G]stops inside the golden

crown
For [F]something wet to wipe away the [Em]chill that's in his bones
[Am]Seeing his reflection in the [G]lives of all the lonely men
Who [F]reach for any thing they can to [Em]keep from going [Am]home

[F]Standing in the corner, Casey [Am]drinks his pint of bitter
Never [G]glancing in the mirror at the [Em]people passing by
He [Am]stumbles as he's leaving and he [G]wonders if the reason
Is the [F]beer that's in his bell or the [Em]tear that's in his [Am]eye

&q[C]uot;Oh", she said "I suppose you seld[G]om think about me"
"Now", she said, "Now that you've a [C]family of your own
"Still", she said "It's so blesses goo[G]d to feel your body
"Lord", she said "Casey it's [C]a shame to be alone"
