[Verse 1]
A
I am just a poor boy
A                 A/G#   F#m
Though my story's seldom told
       E
I have squandered my resistance
      E7                              A
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises

    A/G#     F#m
All lies and jests
        E                 D
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
                   A    E   E7      A
And disregards the rest hmm hmm hmm hmm

[Verse 2]
A
When I left my home and my family
         A/G#        F#m
I was no more than a boy
       E 
In the company of strangers
E      E7                           A
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
A/G#   F#m          E              D
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
                        A
Where the ragged people go
        E              E7              A
Looking for the places only they would know

[Hook]
...    F#m    E    F#m   E..... A

Lie la lie ...

[Verse 3]
A
Asking only workman's wages
       A/G#    F#m
I come looking for a job
             E
But I get no offers,
       E7                                A
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
  A/G#   F#m             E                D
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
                    A           E       E7    A
I took some comfort there la la la la.....

A....A/G#..F#m..E....E7....A....A/G#..F#m..E..D....A..E...A

[Hook]
       F#m   E   F#m   E
Lie la lie ...

[Verse 4]
A
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
A            A/G#  F#m
And wishing I was gone
      E
Going home
          E7                           A
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
         E    F#m               E      E7   A
Bleeding me,              going home
A
In the clearing stands a boxer
A             F/G#   F#m
And a fighter by his trade
       E
And he carries the reminders
   E7
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
   A
Or cut him till he cried out
A            A/G#    F#m
In his anger and his shame
      E             D
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
D                        A     E   E7  A
But the fighter still remains

[Hook]
A      F#m    E    F#m   E 
Lie la lie ...

[Outro] A....A/G#..F#m..E....E7....A....A/G#..F#m..E..D....A..E...A
