Letra

[Intro]
| C | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
C
I am just a poor boy
                G/B    Am
Though my story seldom told
  G
I squandered my resistance
      F/C                             C
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
    G/B      Am               G
All lies and jests Still a man
hears
             F/C
What he wants   to hear
                   C
And disregards the rest

[Verse 2]
         C
When I left my home and my family
              G/B       Am
I was no more than a boy
       G
In the company of strangers
       F/C                           C
In the quiet of the railway stations running scared
G/B    Am             G         F/C
Laying low seeking out the poor quarters
                          C
Where the ragged people go
        G
Looking for the places
F/C             C
Only they would know

[Chorus]
                   Am | - G |

[Verse 3]
         C
Asking only workman's wages
               G/B      Am
I come looking for a job
               G
But I get no offers
       F/C
Just a come on
                            C
From the whores of seventh avenue
  G/B  Am                    G
I do declare there were times
             F/C
When I was so   lonesome
                    C
I took some comfort there
Then I'm laying down my winter clothes
            G/B    Am         G
And wishing I  was gone going home
             F/C
Where the New   York City winters
        C        G/B      Am       G
Are bleeding me, bleeding me going home

[Verse 4]
C           C                                 G/B    Am
 In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
       G                       F/C
And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him
down
       C                                   G/B     Am
And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
     G            F/C                                 C G/B
I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter sill remains
