I am just a poor boy though my story's
                      Am
Seldom told i have squandered my resistance
       F                              C
For a pocketful of munbles such are promises
              Am           G
All lies and jest still a man hears 
         F                                C   G    C
What he wants to hear and disregards the rest
        C
When i left my home and my family
                     Am
I was no more than a boy 
        G
In the company of strangers
        F
In the quiet of the railway 
          C
Station runing scared
        Am          G               F
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters
                         C
Where the ragged people go
         G                              C
Looking for the places only they would know
   Am         G      Am       F     G     C
