Key : C
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C
I am just a poor boy
                G    Am
Though my story seldom told
  G
I squandered my resistance
      F                             C
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
    G      Am               G
All lies and jests Still a man
hears
             F
What he wants   to hear
                   C
And disregards the rest

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         C
When I left my home and my family
              G       Am
I was no more than a boy
       G
In the company of strangers
       F                           C
In the quiet of the railway stations running scared
G    Am             G         F
Laying low seeking out the poor quarters
                          C
Where the ragged people go
        G
Looking for the places
F             C
Only they would know

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Am | G | Am | F | G 
C

[Verse 3]
---------------------
         C
Asking only workman's wages
               G      Am
I come looking for a job
               G
But I get no offers
       F
Just a come on
                            C
From the whores of seventh avenue
  G  Am                    G
I do declare there were times
             F
When I was so   lonesome
                    C
I took some comfort there
Then I'm laying down my winter clothes
            G    Am         G
And wishing I  was gone going home
             F
Where the New   York City winters
        C        G      Am       G
Are bleeding me, bleeding me going home

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C           C                                 G    Am
 In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
       G                       F
And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down
       C                                   G     Am
And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
     G            F                                 C G
I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter sill remains

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Am | G | Am | F | G 
Am | G | Am | F | G 
Am | G | Am | F | G 

[Outro]
