            [Verse 1]

C                                       C/B    Am
I am just a poor boy though my story’s seldom told
          G
I have squandered my resistance
       G7                                C
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
    C/B       Am             G                Fmaj7
All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear
                    C        G  G7   C
And disregards the rest hmhmhm hmhmhmhm


[Verse 2]

        C                                        C/B    Am
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
        G
In the company of strangers
        G7                            C
In the quiet of the railway station, running scared
 C/B    Am           G               Fmaj7
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
                         C
Where the ragged people go
         G             Fmaj7             C
Looking for the places only they would know


[Hook]

       Am          Em
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G                             C
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie, la la la la lie


[Verse 3]

        C                                 C/B     Am
Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job
             G
But I get no offers
        G7                                 C
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh’ Avenue
 C/B    Am                G              Fmaj7
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
                      C          G          G7   C
I took some comfort there, la la la la la

[Hook]

       Am          Em
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G                             C
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie, la la la la lie


[Verse 4]

          C                                      C/B     Am
Then I’m laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
       G               G7                            C
Going home, where the New York City winters aren’t bleeding me
Em             Am
   Leading me
       G     G7
Going home


[Verse 5]

         C                                    C/B      Am
In the clearing stands the boxer and a fighter by his trade
        G                      G7
And he carries a reminder of every glove that laid him down
    C                                     C/B      Am
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
      G             Fmaj7
I am leaving, I am leaving
                         C           G    Fmaj7  C
But the fighter still remains, hmhmhmhm


[Hook]

       Am          Em
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          Em
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          Em
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie
            Am          Em
La la la la lie, lie la la la la la lie
       Am          G                             C
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie, la la la la lie
