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
