[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C I am just a poor boy Am Though my story's seldom told G I have squandered my resistance F For a pocketful of mumbles C Such are promises Am All lies and jest G F Still a man hears what he wants to hear C And disregards the rest. G C La-la la, la-la la-la la-la la.
[Verse 2]
C When I left my home and family Am I was no more than a boy G In the company of strangers F In the quiet of the railway station C Running scared Am Laying low G F Seeking out the poorer quarters C Where the ragged people go G Lookin for the places F C Only they would know.
[Chorus]
Am Lay-la lay G Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay Am Lay-la lay F G C Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay.
[Verse 3]
C Askin only workman's wages Am I come lookin for a job G But I get no offers F G Just a come on from the whores C On seventh avenue Am I do declare G F There were times when I was so lonesome C I took some comfort there. G F C Oh-la la, la-la la-la la-la la.
[Chorus]
Am Lay-la lay (lay-la lay) G Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay Am Lay-la lay F G C Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay.
[Bridge]
C Then I'm laying out my winter clothes Am And wishing I was gone G Going home F Where the New York city winters C Aren't bleeding me Am Leading me G Going home.
[Verse 4]
C In the clearing stands a boxer Am And a fighter by his trade G And he carries the reminders F Of every glove that laid him down C And cut him till he cried out Am In his anger and his shame G F "I am leaving, I am leaving" C But the fighter still remains G C La-la la, la-la la-la la-la la.
[Chorus]
Am Lay-la lay G Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay Am Lay-la lay F G C Lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay-lay lay-la lay.
