[Intro]
---------------------
A#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A#
I am just a poor boy
                  A#maj7 Gm 
Though my story's seldom told
       F 
I have squandered my resistance
                                     A#
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
             Gm 
All lies and jest
           F               D#
Still a man  hears what he wants to hear
                       A#
And disregards the rest

[Verse 2]
---------------------
       A#
When I left my home and my family
              A#maj7 Gm 
I was no more than a boy
       F 
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station
A#
Running scared,
       Gm              F                D#
Laying low, seeking out  the poorer quarters
                          A#
Where the ragged people go
           F 
Looking for  the places
  D#            A#
Only they would know
Lie la lie,

[Chorus 1]
---------------------
Gm             Dm 
   lie la lala lie lie
               Gm         F                           A#
Lie la lie, lie   la la la  la lie la la lie la la la la

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       A#
Asking only workman's wages
               A#maj7   Gm 
I come looking for a job
               F 
But I get no offers
Just a comeon from the whores
           A#
On Seventh Avenue
            Gm 
I do declare
                F               D#
There were times  when I was so lonesome
                           A#
I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le le

[Interlude]

[Chorus 2]
---------------------
Gm             Dm 
   lie la lala lie lie
                     Gm          F                         A#
Lie la lie, lie la la   la la lie  la la le la la la la la la

[Verse 4]
---------------------
         A#
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
             A#maj7  Gm 
And wishing I    was gone
      F 
Going home
Where the New York City winters
       A#
Aren't bleeding me
Dm           Gm 
   Leading me
          F 
Going home

[Verse 5]
---------------------
A#
 In the clearing stands a boxer
              A#maj7  Gm 
And a fighter by  his trade
          F 
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
   A#
Or cut him till he cried out
                     Gm 
In his anger and his shame
      F             D#
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
                              A#      F  D#A#
But the fighter still remains, mmm mmm

[Chorus]

Gm 
           Dm                     Gm 
Lie la lie,   lie la la la lie la lie

Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         Gm          Dm 
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         Gm          Dm 
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         Gm          Dm

           F                         Gm          Dm 
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         Gm          Dm 
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         Gm          Dm 
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la la la la lie
                    Gm 
lie la la la lie la lie
           F                         A#
Lie la lie,  lie la la la lie la lie la
