C C/B Am
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
G C
I have squandered my resistence for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
C/B Am G F C GC
All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest
C C/B Am
When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
G C
In the company of strangers in the quiet of a railway station' runnin' scared
C/B Am G F C
Layin' low, seeking out the poorer quarters were the ragged people go
G F C
Looking for the places only they would know
C C/B Am
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
G
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
C C/B Am
And cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame
G F C
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
