[B]
I am just a poor boy though my [Abm] story's seldom told
[Gb] have squandered my resistance For a puppet full of mumbles such [B] are promising
the man he hears [E] what he wants to hear
When I left my home and my family I was no more than [Abm] a boy in [Gb] the company of strangers
scared
[E] quarters Where the [Ab] ragged people go [Gb] looking for the places
Only they [B] would know
I am just a poor boy though my [Abm] story's seldom told

I am just a poor boy though my [Abm] story's seldom told
That I [Gb] have squandered my resistance For a puppet full of mumbles such [B] are promising
_ _ All lies [Abm] and jests, still the man he hears [E] what he wants to hear

_ When _ _ I left my home and my family I was no more than [Abm] a boy in [Gb] the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway [B] station running scared
_ [Ab] Laying low, [Gb] seeking out the poor [E] quarters Where the [Ab] ragged people go [Gb] looking for the places
Only they [B] would know

_ _ _ _ Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for [Abm] a job but I get [Gb] no offers
Just to come on from the horizon, [B] 7th Avenue _ _

I took some comfort there

_ And I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone, [Gb] going home
But the New York City winters [B] aren't bleeding me
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] Bleeding me _
[Gb] Going home
In _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ the clearing stands a butler and a fighter
[Ab] Biting straight [Gb] and he carries the reminders
Of every glove that's laid him down
[B] I've hugged him till he's cried out
In [Ab] his anger and his shame
[Gb] I am leaving
_ [E] but the fighter [B] still remains
