[Text]
<G>I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom <em>told,
I have sq<D>andered my resistance 
For a p<C>ocket full of mumbles, such are pr<G>omises.
All lies and j<em>est, still a m<D>an hears what he w<C>ants to hear
And disregards the <G>rest. <D  C  G  G>

When I l<G>eft my home and my family, I was no more than a <em>boy
In the c<D>ompany of strangers,
In the q<C>uiet of a railway station, r<G>unning scared.
Laying <em>low, seeking <D>out the poorer q<C>uarters
Where the ragged people <G>go,
Looking <D>for the places o<C>nly they would k<G>now.

Lie la <em>lie, lie la <D>lie la lie la lie, lie la <em>lie. Lie la <C>lie la la la la, <D>lie la la la la <G>lie.

Asking <G>only workman's wages I come looking for a <em>job
But I get no o<D>ffers,
Just a c<C>ome-on from the whores on Seventh <G>Avenue.
I do dec<em>lare, there were t<D>imes when I was <C>so lonesome
I took some comfort th<G>ere. Ooo la <D>la la la la <D>la... <D>

<G(3x) em  D(3x)  G  em  G  em  D  C(2x)  G  D  C(3x)>Zwischenspiel

Then I'm l<G>aying out my winter clothes and wishing I was g<em>one
Going h<D>ome where the N<(am)>ew York City w<C>inters aren't <G>bleeding me
Leading <em>me, going h<D>ome. <D  D>

In the cl<G>earing stands a boxer and a fighter by his tr<em>ade
And he c<D>arries the reminders of e<C>v'ry glove that laid him down.
Or <G>cut him till he cried out in his anger and his s<em>hame
"I am l<D>eaving, I am l<C>eaving!"
But the fighter still rem<G>ains, still rem<D>ains.

Lie la <em>lie, lie la <D>lie la lie la lie, lie la <em>lie. Lie la <C>lie la la la la, <D>lie la la la la <em>lie.
Lie la <em>lie, lie la <D>lie la lie la lie, lie la <em>lie. Lie la <C>lie la la la la, <D>lie la la la la <G>lie.
