Bar The Door Casey chords – The Rumjacks

 Intro:  Am  /  E Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
    Am E 
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
   Am E Am 
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.

   Am C G 
Weve fought scores of sailors for the suds frae a keg,
           Am E 
O'er the draw of a card, or a rare glimpse of leg,
         Am C G 
We've graced Kuta's beaches with our pallid white skin,
      Am E Am 
Now Casey old mate, my barge has come in.


   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
    Am E 
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
   Am E Am 
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.

      Am C G 
We've stormed foreign strands & taken our knocks,
      Am E 
Held fast to our picket & lay siege to the docks,
      Am C G 
We've mourned pals & lovers too long fore their time,
     Am E Am 
Now Casey old China, the parting is mine.

   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
    Am E 
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
   Am E Am 
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.

      Am C G 
I've penned a few lines to my missus of years,
       Am E 
If ye find where she's staying, don't wait for the tears,
          Am C G 
And I've left a wee sum for to see me away,
       Am E Am 
And a pint to fond memory at the close of the day.


   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
    Am E 
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
   Am C G 
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
   Am E Am 
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell...


   Am E Am 
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
