[F#]
I am just a poor boy, oh my story's [D#m] seldom told I [C#] have squandered my resistance for a
pocket full of mumbles, of [F#] job promises All [D#] I live just [C#] to mend ears [B] when he wants
to hear and [F#] disregards the rest [C#]
[F#] When I left my home and family, I was no more
than [D#] a boy in [C#] the company of strangers From the quiet of a railway [F#] station, running
scared, laying [D#] low Seeking [C#m] out the poorer [B] quarters where the
ragged people [F#] go Looking [C#] for only [B] a place to [F#] say well
La [D#] la la, la [C#] la la la la la la la [D#] la [C#] la la [G#m] la la la [F#] la la la la la la la la la la la
Asking only a workman's wages, I came looking for [D#] a job but I get [C#] no offers
Just to come on from the whores on [F#] 7th Avenue I do [D#] declare there [C#] were times when I [B] was so
lonesome I took some [F#] comfort there
[C#] La [D#] la la, [D#m] la [C#] la la la la la la [D#m] la la [C#] la la [G#m]
[F#] la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Now I'm laying out my winter clothes [C#] and wishing I [D#m] was gone, going [C#] home
Where the New York City winter's [F#] on, bleeding me, [D#m] bleeding me, going [C#] home
[A#] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by [D#] his train
[C#] And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him [F#] down
And he cried out in his anger [D#] and his shame
[C#] I am leaving [B] I am leaving but the fighter [F#] still remains
[D#] La la la, [C#] la la la la la la la [D#m] la la [C#] la la
