[Intro] 
Am  E
[Chorus]
BaAmr the door Casey, dCon't let me Gin,
My Amshade'll not cross your dear Ethreshold again,
BaAmr the door Casey, mCind the way Gwell,
AnAmd send my poor ghost on to Eheaven or Amhell.
[Verse]
WeAmve fought scores of sailors for the sCuds frae a Gkeg,
O'er the dAmraw of a card, or a rEare glimpse of leg,
We've grAmaced Kuta's beaches with our pCallid white Gskin,
Now CAmasey old mate, my bEarge has come Amin.
[Chorus]
BaAmr the door Casey, dCon't let me Gin,
My Amshade'll not cross your dear Ethreshold again,
BaAmr the door Casey, mCind the way Gwell,
AnAmd send my poor ghost on to Eheaven or Amhell.
[Verse]
We've Amstormed foreign strands & Ctaken our Gknocks,
Held Amfast to our picket & lay siEege to the docks,
We've Ammourned pals & lovers too Clong fore their Gtime,
Now AmCasey old China, the Eparting is Ammine.
[Chorus]
BaAmr the door Casey, dCon't let me Gin,
My Amshade'll not cross your dear Ethreshold again,
BaAmr the door Casey, mCind the way Gwell,
AnAmd send my poor ghost on to Eheaven or Amhell.
[Verse]
I've Ampenned a few lines to my Cmissus of Gyears,
If ye Amfind where she's staying, don't Ewait for the tears,
And I've Amleft a wee sum for to Csee me Gaway,
And a Ampint to fond memory at the Eclose of the Amday.
[Chorus]
BaAmr the door Casey, dCon't let me Gin,
My Amshade'll not cross your dear Ethreshold again,
BaAmr the door Casey, mCind the way Gwell,
AnAmd send my poor ghost on to Eheaven or Amhell,
[Outro]
AnAmd send my poor ghost on to Eheaven or Amhell...

[Intro]

Am E

[Chorus]

Am C G

Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,

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.

[Verse]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Verse]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Verse]

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.

[Chorus]

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,

[Outro]

Am E Am

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