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