C Am
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
G
I have squandered my resistance
G7 G6 C
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
Am G F
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear
C G G7 G6 C
And disregards the rest

C Am
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy
G
In the company of strangers
G7 G6 C
In the quiet of a railway station running scared
Am G F
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
C
Where the ragged people go
G G7 G6 C
Looking for the places only they would know

Am G Am G F C
Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie

C Am
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
G
But I get no offers
G7 G6 C
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
Am G F
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
C
I took some comfort there
G G7 G6 C
Lie lie lie lie la


Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me going home

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries a reminder ov ev'ry glove that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving I am leaving
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie etc
