_ _ _ _ _ I am just a poor boy, though my story is [F#m] seldom told.
[E] I squandered my existence on a pocket full of [A] mumbles, such are promises. _
[F#m] All I suggest, dear, the [E] man here [D] wants to hear and disregard [A] the rest.
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ So I left my home and my family, I was no more [F#m] than a loner [E] in the company of strangers.
And the quiet of a railway [A] station was a disgrace.
_ [F#m] Oh, see [E] how _ [D] _ the [A] red people go _
[E] to places only they [A] belong. _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Oh, see where we're going, we're going to get [F#m] along, darling, we're going to get [E] _ along.
I've come home from the hotel [F#m] of avenue. _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[A] _ [E] Hey, _ [Bm] _ [C#m] _ [A] _ _
_ in a lane I'm out of control, wishing [F#m] I was from [E] the road.
_ But in the old city, the birds [A] aren't a thing.
_ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
[F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ In the clear, it's ten o'clock.
_ [F#m] Every [E] _ _ _ _
_ glove had laid him [A] down a cliff, till he clutched.
It is a [F#m] burden to shame, [E] I am leaving, [D] I am.
Work and fire [A] still _ [E] remains, _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [E] my love. _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ Thank you. _ _ _ _ _
