same tune different lyrics 😋
In the kingdom theres a father with his head held up high
Shining glory all around, right across his big blue sky
In the heart there is a jewel and it shines just for you.
Bringing hope and peace for all all that would welcome it to
Lar the lar.
Lar, la, lar, lar, la, lar, la, lar.
When the The Jewel lights up inside you, and it calls it favourite song.
You feal like there is fight that helps you get along.
La, lar, la, lar,
and so on 😋
Tune the guitar a semi tone down-try this.
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C C/B Am
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
G
I have squandered my resistance
G7 G6 C
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
C/B Am G F
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear
C G F G C
And disregards the rest
C C/B Am
When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
G
In the company of strangers
G7 G6 C
In the quiet of a railway station running scared
C/B Am G F C
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
G F G C
Looking for the places only they would know
[Refrain]
Am
Lie-la-lie
Em
Lie-la-la-la-la lie-la-lie
Am
Lie la lie
G C
Lie-la la la la la lie la la la la lie
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job
G
But I get no offers
G7 G6 C
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
C/B Am G F C
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
G C
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Extra verse in live versions
C C/B Am
Now the years are rolling by me, they are rocking evenly
G
And I am older than I once was
G7 G6 C
And younger than I'll be, that's not unusual
C/B Am G F C
No, it isn't strange, after changes upon changes we are more or less the same
G F C
After changes we are more or less the same

[Verse 3]
C C/B Am
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
G G7 G6 C
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Em Am
Leading me-e
G7 C
Going home
C C/B Am
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
G
And he carries the reminders
G7 G6 C
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him till he cried out
C/B Am
In his anger and his shame
G F C
"I am leaving, I am leaving." but the fighter still remains
G F G C
Hm, hm, hm
