_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
I _ am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom [Abm] told
I have [Gb]
squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles such [B] are _ promises
_ _ _ All [Bbm] eyes and [Abm]
jests, [Gb] still a man [B] hears what he wants to hear
and disregards the [Abm] rest
_ [Gb] When _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy in the [Gb] company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station, [B] running _ scared _ _ _ _
[Abm] Laying low, seeking [Gb] out the poorer [B] quarters where the ragged people go
Looking [Gb] for the places [B] only they would know
_ _ _ Lie, lie, [Abm]
lie
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Abm] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Asking only workman's wages, I come looking for [Abm] a job but I get [Gb] no offers _ _
Just a come on from the whores on [B] 7th Avenue
_ _ _ _ I do [Abm] declare, there were [Gb] times when I [B] was so lonesome I took [Db] some comfort there
Lie, lie, [Gb] lie _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ And _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm laying out in my winter clothes and wishing I [Abm] was gone [Gb] going home _
_ _ Where the New York City _ winters [B] aren't leading me, _ _ [Ebm] _
_ leading _ _ [Abm] _ me _ _ going [Gb] home _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by [Abm] his trade
And [Gb] he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
[B] And cupped him till he cried out in his anger and [Abm] his shame
I [Db] am leaving, I [B] am leaving but the fire still _ remains
[Gb] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
