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