[C]
I am just a poor boy
[Am]
Though my story's seldom told
[G]
I have squandered my resistance
[G7] [C]
For a pocket full of mumbles, Such are promises
[Am]
All lies and jest
[G] [F]
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[C] [G] [C]
And disregards the rest
When I left my home
And my family
[Am]
I was no more than a boy
[G]
In the company of strangers
[G7]
In the quiet of the railway station
[C]
Running scared
[Am]
Laying low
[G] [F]
Seeking out the poorer quarters
[C]
Where the ragged people go
[G]
Looking for the places
[F] [Em] [Dm] [C]
Only they would know
[Am]
Lie-la-lie
[Em] [Am]
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie lie-la-lie
[F] [G] [C]
Lie-la-lie la la la la, Lie la la la la lie
Asking only workman's wages
[Am]
I come looking for a job
[G]
But I get no offers
[G7]
Just a come-on from the whores
[C]
On Seventh Avenue
[Am]
I do declare
[G] [F]
There were times when I was so lonesome
[C]
I took some comfort there
[G] [C]
Ooo-la-la la-la la-la
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
[Am]
And wishing I was gone
[G]
Going home
[G7]
Where the New York City winters
[C]
Aren't bleeding me
[Em] [Am]
Leading me - e
[G] [C]
Going home
[C]
In the clearing stands a boxer
[Am]
And a fighter by his trade
[G]
And he carries the reminders
[G7]
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
[C]
Or cut him till he cried out
[Am]
In his anger and his shame
[G] [F]
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
[C] [G] [G7] [C]
But the fighter still remains
[Am]
Lie-la-lie
[Em] [Am]
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie lie-la-lie
[F] [G] [C]
Lie-la-lie la la la la, Lie la la la la lie
