_ I'm just a poor boy, though my [G] story's [Am] seldom told
_ [Dm] I've [G] squandered my resistance for a pocket [Em] full of mumbles such [C] are promises _
All [Am] lies and jest, still [G] a man [C] hears what he wants to hear and disregards the [G] rest _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ When I left my home and my family, I was [Em] no more than a [G] boy accompanying strangers
In the [Em] quiet of a [D] railway [C] station, running scared _ _
[Em] [Am] Laying [D] low, [G] seeking out the poor [F] quarters where the [C] ragged people go
Looking [G] for the places [F] [C] only they would go
[Am] La la la, [Em] la la la la la la [Am] la
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Asking for workers' wages, I've come looking for [Am] a [D] job, I get [G] no offers
Just a come-all from the horizontal [C] 7th Avenue
I've [Em] moved [Am] to Clare, there [G] were times when I was [F] so lonesome
[C] I took some comfort [G] there
La la la, la la la la la la la

_ _ _ _ Then I'm laying out my winter clothes, wishing [Am] I was [G] gone, going home
Where the New York City [C] winters aren't leaving me
[Em] _ Leaving [Am] me _ to [G] go home
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
In _ _ _ _ the clearing stands a boxer [G] and a fighter [Am] by his [G] trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him [C] down
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger [Am] and his shame
[G] I'm leaving, [F] I'm leaving, but the fighter [C] still [G] remains
He still remains
