Capo IV
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
I am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom told.
D
I have squandered my resistance,
D7 D G
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.
Em
All lies and jest;
D C G D D7 D G
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
[Verse 2]
G Em
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy,
D
In the company of strangers,
D7 D G
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared.
Em D C
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
C G
Where the ragged people go.
D C D D7 G
Lookin' for the places, only they would know.
[Chorus]
Em
Lie-la-lie
Bm
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Em
Lie la lie
D G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
[Verse 3]
G Em
Asking only workman's wages I come lookin' for a job,
D
But I get no offers,
D7 D G
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue.
Em D C
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome,
C G D D7 D G
I took some comfort there.
Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be, that's not unusual
It isn't strange after changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are more or less the same
G Em D G Em D C G
[Chorus]
Em
Lie-la-lie
Bm
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Em
Lie la lie
D G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
[Bridge]
G Em D
And I'm laying out my winter clothes, and wishing I was gone, goin home
D7 D G Bm Em D D D7 D G
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin me, leadin me goin home.
[Verse 4]
G Em
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade,
D D7 D
And he carries the reminders, of every glove that laid him down,
G Em
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame,
D C
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
C G D D7 D G
But the fighter still remains
[Chorus]
Em
Lie-la-lie
Bm
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Em
Lie la lie
D
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie 10x
D G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
