6 6 6 -6 6 5
I am just a poor boy.
5 -5 6 6 7 -7 -6
Though my story's seldom told,
-6 -7 -6 6 6 -6 6 -4
I have squandered my resistance
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5
For a pocketful of mumbles,
4 -4 -5 5 4
Such are promises
7 7 -7 7
All lies and jest
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
-6 -6 -6 -6 -5 6
And disregards the rest.
5 -5 6 6 6
When I left my home
6 6 6 -5 5
And my family-,
5 -5 6 7 7 -7 -6
I was no more than a boy
-6 -6 6 6 6 6 6 -4
In the company of strangers
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 4 -4
In the quiet of the railway station,
-5 5 4
Running scared,
7 -7 7
Laying low,
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
Seeking out the poorer quarters
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
Where the ragged people go,
5 -5 6 -4 -4 5
Looking for the places
-5 -5 5 -4 4
Only- they would know.
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -6 6
Lie la lie la lie la lie
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
-8 8 -9 8 8 -8 7 -8
Lie la lie la la la la lie
7 7 7 -7 7
la la la la lie
5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 5
Asking only workman's wages
5 5 -5 5 4 -4 5
I come looking for a job,
5 5 5 5 5 -4
But I get no offers,
-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5
Just a come-on from the whores
5 4 -4 -5 5 5
On Seventh Avenue
7 7 -7 7
I do declare,
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6
There were times when I was so lonesome
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
I took some comfort there.
6 6 6 6 6 6 6
Ooo la la la la la la
5 -5 6 6 6 6 6 -5 5
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
-5 6 7 7 -7 -6
And wishing I was gone,
-6 5 6
Going home
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5
Where the New York City- winters
4 -4 -5 5 5
Aren't bleeding me,
7 -7 6 -6
Leading me--,
-6 5 6
Going home.
6 -6 6 6 6 6 6 5
In the clearing stands a boxer,
5 -5 6 6 7 -7 -6
And a fighter by his trade
-6 -7 -6 6 6 -6 6 -4
And he carries the reminders
-4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 4
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
-4 -5 5 4 -4 -5 5
Or cut him till he cried out
6 6 6 7 7 -7 7
In his anger and his shame,
7 7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
But the fighter still remains
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -6 6
Lie la lie la lie la lie
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
-8 8 -9 8 8 -8 7 -8
Lie la lie la la la la lie
7 7 7 -7 7
la la la la lie
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
7 -7 7 -7 -7 -6 6
Lie la lie la lie la lie
7 -7 7
Lie la lie
-8 8 -9 8 8 -8 7 -8
Lie la lie la la la la lie
7 7 7 -7 7
la la la la lie |
