Start Jamming...
I am just a poor boy, though my [C#] story's so [B] untold.
[A] That's one big my resistance, throat pockets full of mumbo [D]-stuffed rotten sag.
[C#m] All [B] eyes and chest, [A] still man hears [G] what he wants to hear in disregard [D] for others.
[A] [D]
When I left my home and family, there was no more [B] than a boy [A] in the company of strangers.
In the quiet of the [D] railways, chasing, running, scared.
[B] Lay him low, [A] shaking out the [G] poor reporters with a nagging [D] cheek and a gull.
[A] Looking for integration, it's only [D] day he doesn't know.
[B] Lie, lie, lie, [F#] lie, lie, lie, lie, [B] lie, lie, [A] lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, [D] lie, lie.
That's the only word that's raised since I come from getting [Bm] full of job, but [A] I get no offers.
So come on and front some pics on [D] 7th Avenue.
I [B] do declare [A] that I was out and [G] I was sold, wrote some rants and some [D] comfort, la, [A] la, la, [D]

In the clearing stands Proctor and the fighter [B] flies straight and [A] he carries the reminders of every love that laid him [D] down.
