CASEYS LAST RIDE Kris Kristofferson

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

The st[F]airway to the subway and the sh[E]adows down below

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

Of s[F]ilent desperation,never sp[E]eaking to a soul

Verse 2:

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

Cause it's n[G]ever seen the sunshine and it's n[E]ever felt the rain

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

Of the cl[F]icking of the turnstile and the ra[E]ttle of his chai[Am]ns

Verse 3:

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

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

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

"Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay aw[Am]hile"

Verse 4:

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

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

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

Who re[F]ach for anything they can to k[E]eep from going home

Verse 5:

St[F]anding in the corner,Casey d[C]rinks his pint of bitter

Never g[G]lancing in the mirror at the p[E]eople passing by

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

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

Verse 6:

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

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

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

"Lord",she said "Casey it's a shame to be alo[Am]ne"

i like the -5 semi too. but regardless of the key, it's not a minor. play the 7th. in this case, b7. you'll like it lots better

doctony (report)

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
