Caseys Last Ride by Kris Kristofferson - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Kris Kristofferson Song List
Version 1 Version 3
[Verse 1]
Am G
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
F E
The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below
Am G
Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
F E
Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soul
[Verse 2]
F C
The poison air he's breathing has a dirty smell of dying
Dm E
Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain
Am G
But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
F E Am
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains
[Bridge 1]
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 a while"
[Verse 3]
Am G
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
F E
For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones
Am G
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
F E
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home
[Verse 4]
F C
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter
Dm E
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Am G
Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason
F E Am
Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye
[Bridge 2]
C G
"Oh", she said "I suppose 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 good to feel your body"
C Dm G C
"Lord", she said "Casey it's a shame to be alone"
