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