	Am	G
Cas	ey joins the hollow sound of si	lent people walking down

	F	Em
The st	airway to the subway and the sh	adows down below

	Am	G
Fo	llowing the footsteps through the n	eon darkened corridors

	F	Em
Of s	ilent desperation,never sp	eaking to a soul

Verse 2:

	F	Am
The p	oison air he's breathing has a di	rty smell of dieing

	G	Em
Cause it's n	ever seen the sunshine and it's n	ever felt the rain

	Am	G
Ca	sey minds the arrows and ig	nores the fatal echoes

	F	Em	Am
Of the cl	icking of the turnstile and the ra	ttle of his chai	ns

Verse 3:

	C	G
"Oh	",she said "Casey it's been so long since i've seen y	ou"

	C
"Here",she said "Just a kiss to make a body sm	ile"

	G
"See",she said "I've put on new stockings just to please y	ou"

	C
"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay aw	hile"

Verse 4:

	Am	G
Ca	sey leaves the underground and s	tops inside the golden crown

	F	Em
For so	mething wet to wipe away the ch	ill that's on his bones

	Am	G
Se	eing his reflection in the li	ves of all the lonely men

	F	Em
Who re	ach for anything they can to k	eep from going home

Verse 5:

	F	Am
St	anding in the corner,Casey d	rinks his pint of bitter

	G	Em
Never g	lancing in the mirror at the p	eople passing by

	Am	G
He st	umbles as he's leaving and he w	onders if the reason

	F	Em	Am
Is the b	eer that's in his belly or the t	ear that's in his e	ye

Verse 6:

	C	G
"O	h",she said "I suppose that you seldom think about	me"

	C
"Now",she said "Now that you've a family of your o	wn"

	G
"Still",she said "It's so blessed and good to feel your b	ody"

	C
"Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame to be alo	ne"

Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.

This comment applies only to the -5 semitone version! I would suggest the use of the G major chord for the Em on the word  "dirty" ["... has a 'dirty' smell of dying ... "] ==and== the word "drinks" ["... Casey 'drinks' his pint of bitters ..."]. 



So too, the barre B minor chord can present problems [due to tricky fingering much less the barre itself] to the new player because it has to be done so quickly in this song and repeatedly so and therefore the "non barre version" of the B minor chord [which can be looked up as I can't reproduce the diagram for same] can be a rather handy substitute.  -- Doc Tony
