I am just a poor boy, though [F#] my story is seldom told
[E] I've squandered my existence on a pocket full of [A] mumbles, such are promises
All [F#m] lies and jests, hell, a man [D] hears what he wants to hear and [A]
disregards the rest
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
When I left my home and my family, I was no [F#m] more than a boy
[E] In the company of strangers, in the quiet of a railway [A] station running scary
[F#m] They go seeking [D] out _ _ [A] people of gold, [E] looking for the places only [A] they know
La la [F#m] la, la [E] la la, la la la, _ [F#m] _
_ [E] la la la
_ [A] _ _ _
Only seeking workers' wages, I come looking for a job [E] but I get no offers
Just to come on from the whores on [A] 7th Avenue
[F#m] I did _ [E] it once when [D] I was so lonesome, [A] I took some comfort [E] there
_ _ [A] _ _
And I'm laying out in my winter clothes and wishing [F#m] I was [E] homegrown
_ Brave New York City [A] winters are evading me, [F#m] leading me, [E] I'm at home

In the clearing stands a boxer and a [C#m] fighter [F#m] by his trade, [E] and he carried the reminders
Of every bloke that laid him [A] down or death him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
[E] I am [D] leaving but the fighter [A] still _ [E] remains
[F#m] La la la, _ [E] la la la, _ [F#m] _ _ _
[E] la la la
