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