Verse
B G#m
I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
F#
I have squandered my existence
F# B
On a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
G#m F# E
All lies in jest 'til a man hears what he wants to hear
B F# E F# B
And disregards the rest
[Verse 2]
B
Well, I left my home and my family
G#m F#
I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers
B G#m
In the quiet of the railway station, running scared, laying low
F# E B
Seeking out the poor quarters where the ragged people go
F# E F# B
Looking for the places only they would know
[Chorus]
G#m F#
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie, Lie, Lie-la-Lie,
G#m E F# B
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie La-La-La-La Lie
[Verse 3]
B
Only seeking workman's wages
G#m F#
I come looking for a job, but I get no offers
F# B
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
G#m F# E
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
B F# E F# B
I took some comfort there
[Verse 4]
B
In a-laying out my winter clothes
G#m F#
And wishing I was home, going home
F# B
Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleeding me
G#m F#
Bleeding me, going home
[Bridge]
B F# G#m F#
La La La La La, La,
B F# G#m F#
La-La La La La-La La La La-La,
E F# B
La-La La La La
[Verse 5]
B G#m
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
F#
And he carries the reminders
B
Of every bloke that laid him down or cleft him
G#m
'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame
F# E B F#
I am leaving, I am leaving but the fighter still remains
[Chorus]
G#m F#
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie, Lie, Lie-la-Lie,
G#m E F# B
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie La-La-La-La Lie
[Outro]
G#m F# G#m E F# A
