Lyrics & chords
1. [C] I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom [Am] told I have [G] squandered my resistance For a pocketful of mumbles Such are [C] promises All lies and [Am] jest Still, a [G] man hears what he wants to [F] hear And disregards the [C] rest When I [C] left my home and my family I was no more than a [Am] boy In the [G] company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station [C] Running scared Laying [Am] low, seeking [G] out the poorer [F] quarters Where the ragged people [C] go Looking [G] for the places [F] only they would [C] know Lie-la-[Am] lie Lie-la-[Em] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Lie-la-[Am]lie Lie-la-[G] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-[C] lie 2. Asking [C] only workman's wages I come looking for a [Am] job But I get no [G] offers Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh [C] Avenue I do [Am] declare, there were [G] times when I was so [F] lonesome I took some comfort [C] there La-la-la-la-la-la-[G] la [C] Now the [C] years are rolling by me they are rockin' [Am] evenly I am [G] older than I once was and younger than I'll be and that's not [C] unusual. No it isn't [Am] strange after [G] changes upon [F] changes we are more or less the [C] same after [G] changes we are [F] more or less the [C] same Lie-la-[Am] lie Lie-la-[Em] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Lie-la-[Am]lie Lie-la-[G] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-[C] lie 3. Then I'm [C] laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was [Am] gone Going [G] home Where the New York City winters aren't [C] bleeding me [Em] Leading [Am] me Going [G] home [C] In the [C] clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his [Am] trade And he [G] carries the reminders Of every glove that laid him down Or [C] cut him till he cried out In his anger and his [Am] shame "I am [G] leaving, I am [F] leaving" But the fighter still [C] remains [G] [F] [C] Lie-la-[Am] lie Lie-la-[Em] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Lie-la-[Am] lie Lie-la-[G] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-[Am] lie Lie-la-[Em] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Lie-la-[Am]lie Lie-la-[G] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-[Am] lie Lie-la-[Em] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie Lie-la-[Am]lie Lie-la-[G] lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-lie-lie-[C] lie
