BI am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom G#mtold.I have
F#squandered my resistance,For a
F#7pocketful of mF#6umbles, such are prBomises.All lies and
G#mjest;Still, a
F#man hears what he wEants to hear and disregards the rBest.F# F#7 F#6 B When I
Bleft my home and my family I was no more than a G#mboy,In the
F#company of strangers,In the
F#7quiet of the rF#6ailway station, ruBnnin' scared.Laying
G#mlow, seeking F#out the poorer qEuarters,Where the ragged people
Bgo.Lookin'
F#for the places, oEnly tF#hey woF#7uld knoBw.Lie-la-
