	C	Em/B	Am
	I am just a poor boy though my story's	seldom	told

	G
I have	squandered my resistance

	G7	G	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	F	Em	C
And disregards the	rest

	C	Em/B	Am
When I	left my home and my family, I was no more	than a	boy

	G
In the	company of strangers

	G7	G	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	F	G	C
Looking	for the places	only	they would	know

	Am	G	Am
Lie la	lie, Lie la	la la la la lie lala lie, Lie la	lie,

	F	G	C
Lie la	lie la la la	la, lie la la la la	lie.

	C	Em/B	Am
Asking	only workman's wages I come looking	for a	job

	G
But I get no	offers

	G7	G	C
Just a	come-on from the	whores on Seventh	Avenue

	Am	G	F
I do de	clare, there were	times when I was	so lonesome

	C
I took some comfort	there

	G	F	Em	C
	Lie lie lie lie la

	C	Em/B	Am
Then I'm	laying out my winter clothes and wishing	I was	gone

	G	G7	C	Am
Going	home... where the	New York City winters aren't	bleeding me

	Em	Am	G
Leading	me,	going	home.

	C	Em/B	Am
In the	clearing stands a boxer and a fighter	by his	trade

	G	G7
And he	carries a reminder of ev'ry	glove that laid him down

	C	Am
Or	cut him till he cried out in his anger and his	shame

	G	F
I am	leaving, I am	leaving

	C
But the fighter still re	mains

	G	F	Em	C
(	Lie lie lie lie la			..again if you want.
