INTRO: G A7 G D

D G D D7

I'd see him every mornin', ridin' down the street

G D E7 A7

Old wore-out bicycle with the tattered old seat

G D G

Pickin' up the cans that he finds by the road

D A7 G

People say that Casey is a brick short of a load

D G D D7

Casey's been around here forever and a day

G D E7 A7

I've heard a lot of rumors how he came to be this way

G D G

The old folks they remember a little boy in school

D A7 D

And they say that he was different from the other kids they knew

CHORUS:

G A7 D D7

He's just dancin' to the beat of a different drum

G A7 D

Casey never did fit in

G A7 D G

But every night he thanks the Lord for everything He's done

D A7 G

'Cause Casey knows He listens to prayers from anyone

D G D D7

Anyplace he needs to go, Casey knows the way

G A7 E7 A7

He must pass by the five and dime twenty times a day

G D G

Passin' by the schoolyard, children holler names

D A7 G

And a forty-year-old memory haunts him once again

D G D D7

I still see him every mornin', ridin' down the street

G D E7 A7

That old wore-out bicycle with the tattered old seat

G D G

And he hardly shows a wrinkle on his old weathered face

D A7 D

I guess he never worried much about bein' in the race

CHORUS

D A7 G

And it don't matter if he dances to a different drum

OUTRO: D
