Verse
G Em
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
Em 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
Em D
I was no more than a boy in the company of strangers
G Em
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]
Em D
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie, Lie, Lie-la-Lie,
Em 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
Em D
I come looking for a job, but I get no offers
D G
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
Em 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
Em D
And wishing I was home, going home
D G
Where the New York City winters aren't a-bleeding me
Em D
Bleeding me, going home
[Bridge]
G D Em D
La La La La La, La,
G D Em D
La-La La La La-La La La La-La,
C D G
La-La La La La
[Verse 5]
G Em
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
Em
'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]
Em D
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie, Lie, Lie-la-Lie,
Em C D G
Lie-la-Lie, Lie-la-Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie La-La-La-La Lie
[Outro]
