I am just a poor boy, though my [G] [Am] story's seldom told
[G] I squandered my resistance [F] for a pocket full of mumbles, [C] such are promises
[Em] All [Am] lies and jests, [G] still the man hears [F] what he wants to hear and [C] disregards the rest _ _ _
_ When I left my home and my family, [G] I was no more than a [Am] boy
[G] In the company of strangers, [F] in the quiet of the railway [C] stations, running scared
[G] [Am] Laying low, [G] seeking out the [F] poor quarters where the ragged [C] people go
Looking [G] for the [F] places [C] only they will know
[Am] Well lie, lie, _ _ lie, [G] lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, [Am] lie, lie, [F] lie, [G] lie, lie, lie, [C] lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, _ _ _ _ lie, lie
only workman's wages I come [G] looking [Am] for a job but [G] I get no offer just [F] to come on from the whores [C] on
seventh avenue I [A] do declare [G] there were times [F] when I was so lonesome I took some [C] comfort there _
_ _ then I'm laying down my winter clothes and wishing [Am] I was home [G] going home
where the [F] New York City [C] winters aren't bleeding me
[Am] is leading me [G] going _ home

[C] the _ _ clearing stands a boxer and a [Em] fighter by [Am] his trade [G] and he carries the reminder
[F] of every glove that laid him down [C] and caught him till he cried out in his anger [Am] and his shame
[G] I am leaving [F] I am leaving the fights are [C] still remains
