Intro 1
(B major) (B major)
Verse 1
(B major) I am just a poor boy
Though my story's (F sharp/A#) seldom (G sharp minor) told
I have (F sharp major) squandered my resistance
For a (F sharp7) pocket full of (F sharp6) mumbles
Such are (B major) promises
All (F sharp/A#) lies and (G sharp minor) jests
Still a man (F sharp major) hears what he (E major) wants to hear
And disregards the (B major) rest
(F sharp major) (F sharp major) (F sharp7)
(B major) (B major) (B major) (B major)

Verse 2
When I left (B major) my home and my family
I was no more (F sharp/A#) than a boy (G sharp minor)
In the (F sharp major) company of strangers
In the (F sharp7) quiet of the (F sharp6) railway station
(B major) Running scared
(F sharp/A#) Laying (G sharp minor) low, seeking (F sharp major) out
the poorer (E major) quarters
Where the ragged people (B major) go
Looking (F sharp major) for the places
(E major) Only they would (B major) know
Chorus 1

Verse 3
Asking only (B major) workman's wages
I come looking (F sharp/A#) for a job (G sharp minor)
But I get no offers (F sharp major)
Just a (F sharp7) come-on from the (F sharp6) whores
On Seventh Avenue (B major)
I (F sharp/A#) do de (G sharp minor) clare
There were times (F sharp major) when I was (E major) so lonesome
I took some comfort (B major) there
La la (F sharp major) la la la la
(F sharp major) (F sharp7) (B major) (B major)

Verse 4
Then I'm laying (B major) out my winter clothes
And wishing (F sharp/A#) I was (G sharp minor) gone
Going (F sharp major) home
Where the (F sharp7) New York City winters (F sharp6)
Aren't (B major) bleeding me
(D sharp minor) Leading me (G sharp minor)
Going home (F sharp7)
(F sharp7) (F sharp7)
(B major) (B major) (B major) (B major)
Verse 5
In the clearing (B major) stands a boxer
And a fighter (F sharp/A#) by his (G sharp minor) trade
And he (F sharp major) carries the reminders
Of (F sharp7) every glove that (F sharp6) laid him down
Or (B major) cut him 'til he cried out In his anger
(F sharp/A#) and his shame (G sharp minor)
"I am (F sharp major) leaving, I am (E major) leaving"
But the fighter still remains (B major)
(F sharp major) (E major) (B major) (B major)
