C Am I am just a poor boy, though my story’s seldom told, G F I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such C are promises. Am G F All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and C G F G C Dis-regards the rest, ummmm C Am When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy G Dm C In the company of strangers, in the quiet of the railway station Am C F Running scared, laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters G F Em Where the ragged people go, looking for the places only they C would know. C Am G Am Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, lie la lie, G F G C Lie la lie la la la la lie la la la la lie. C Am Asking only workman’s wages, I come looking for a job G Dm C But I get no of-fers, just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue Am Dm G F I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome C G I took some comfort there__ Ooo-la – la__ la__la la la__ C G7 C Am Then I’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone G Dm G7 G C Going home, where the New York City winters are-n’t bleeding me Em Am G C Leading me, going home C Am In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade, G G7 C And he carries the reminders of every glove that’s laid him down Dm G7 C Am Or cut him till he cried__ out in his anger and his shame G F C “I am leaving, I am leaving.” But the fighter still remains G C G F C Am Lie-la lie, Am G Am Lie-la lie-la lie-la lie lie-la-lie G F C Lie-la lie la la la la – lie. Am G Am Lie-la lie-la lie-la lie lie-la-lie G F C Lie-la lie la la la la – lie.
