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