Verse 1
(C major) I am (E minor) (A minor) (C major) just a poor boy,
though my story's (G major) seldom told (A minor)
I have squandered (E minor) my resistance
in a (F major) pocket full of mumbles
Such (G major) are (C major) promises, all (A minor) lies and jest
Still a man hears (E minor) what he
wants to (C major) hear (F major) (C major)
When I left my home and my family,
I was no more (A minor) than a boy,
in the com (E minor) pany of strangers,
in the (D minor) quiet of a (F major) railway station,
(C major) running scared, laying low, (A minor)
seeking out (E minor) the poorer quarters,
where the (D minor) ragged people go.
I (E minor) was (F major) looking for the places
only (G major) they would know (C major)
La (A minor) -la -lai, la -la -lai (E minor) -lai -lai -lai
La -la -lai, (A minor) la -la -lai (G major) -lai -lai -lai -lai (C major) -lai
(A minor) Ask (G major) ing all new workman's wages
I come (C major) looking for a job (A minor)
But I get no of (E minor) fers
Just to (D minor) come home from
the whores on 7th (C major) Avenue
I do (A minor) declare
There were times (E minor) when I was so lonesome
I (D minor) took some comfort there (A minor) (G major)
La (A minor) la lai
La la lai (E minor) la lai lai
La la lai (A minor)
La la lai (G major) la lai la la lai (C major) (E minor)
(A minor) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(A minor) (F major) (C major) (G major)
In the clearing stand (C major) s a boxer
and a fighter by (G major) his (A minor) trade
And he carries the (E minor) reminders
of (F major) every glove that laid (G major) him down
And (A minor) cut him till he cried (G major) out
in his (C major) zenk and (A minor) his shame
I am (E minor) leaving, I am (D minor) leaving
But the fighter still remains (A minor)
La la lai, la la lai la la lai
La la lai, la la lai
la la lai la lai lai
La la la lai, la la lai,
la la lai (E minor)
(A minor) (G major) (A minor) (E minor)
(A minor)
lalalala (G major) lalalala (C major) lalalala lalalala (A minor) male
(E minor)
(A minor) (G major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (E minor)
(A minor)
La, (G major) la, la (C major) (G major) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
La la (G major) la la la. (C major) (G major) (A minor)
