_ _ [C] _ You're a poor boy. _
[G] Stories [Am] seldom [G] told squanders his resistance
For a pocket full of [Em] mumbles [C] and your promises
_ All [Em] [A] lies and [D] jests, [G] still a man hears [F] what he wants to hear
And [C] disregards the [G] rest Mmm, _ _ mmm
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I left my home and my family
I was [Bm] no [Am] more than a boy [G] in the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway [C] station running slant
_ [G] [A] Laying low, [G] seeking out the [C] poor [F] quarters
Where the ragged [C] people go
[G] Looking for [C] the places only they will love
[Am] La la la la la _ [Em] la la la _
[Am] _ _ la la la [Em] la la la _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Asking only workman's wages
[Em] I come [Am] looking for a job, [G] I get no offers
I just come on from the horse [C] on 7th Avenue
_ [Em] I [Am] do declare [G] there were times when [F] I was so slow
I took some [C] comfort [G] there
La la la la _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ la la la la la la la
Now the years are rolling by me
They are [G] rocking [Am] easy
And [G] I am older than I [Em] once [G] was
And younger than I'll be
But that's [C] not unusual
_ _ [G] No one [A] is [Am] estranged
[G] After changes, [F] home changes
We are more or [C] less the [Am] same
[G] After changes, [C] we are more or less the same

_ Mmm, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] mmm
When [Am] she now was [G] gone
Where _ _ the auctioneer would [C] turn on me
Leading me, _ [Em] _ leading [A] me _ [Am] _ [G] Going home _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a [Em] fighter [Am] by his trade
[G] And he carries the reminders
Of every beloved laid him [C] down
Until to be cried out
In his [Em] anger [Am] and his shame
Well [G] I am leaving, [C] I am leaving
But the fighter still [G] remains, [G] still [F] remains
