(C major) (C major) (C major) (C major)
Verse 1
Well, I (C major) am just a poor boy
Though my story's (G major) seldom (A minor) told
I have (G major) squandered my resistance
For a (F major) pocket full of mumbles
Such are (C major) promises
All (G major) lies and (A minor) jest
Still, the man (G major) hears what he wants (F major) to hear
And disregards the (C major) rest (C major)

Verse 2
When I left (C major) my home and my family
I was no more (G major) than a boy (A minor)
In the (G major) company of strangers
In the (F major) quiet of the railway stations
(C major) running scared
(G major) Laying (A minor) low, seeking out (G major) the poorer (F major) quarters
Where the ragged people go (C major)
Looking (G major) for the places (F major) only they would (C major) know

Asking only (C major) workman’s wages
I come looking (E minor) for a job (A minor)
But I get no offers (G major)
Just a (F major) come-on from the whores
on Seventh Avenue (C major)
I (E minor) do de (A minor) clare there were times (G major)
when I was so (F major) lonesome
I took some comfort (C major) there (C major)
Verse 4
Then I’m laying (C major) out my winter clothes
And wishing (E minor) I was (A minor) gone

Going (G major) home

In the clearing (C major) stands a boxer
And a fighter (G major) by his (A minor) trade
And he (G major) carries the remainders

In his anger (E minor) and his (A minor) shame
