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