I was watching a youtube clip of Marcus Mumford playing this song with a capo on
the 5th fret and noticed it was here so I decide to figure it out.
Enjoy!
Capo on the 5th
Chorus:
Repeat the Chorus (He sings it a little bit different but it's
difficult to distinguish la's and lie's)
During solo play the verse chord progression
GI am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told G/F# Em
I have squDandered my resistance
For a Cpocket full of mumbles such are promises G
AllG/F# lies and Emjests
Still a Dman hears what he wants to heaCr
And disregards the rest C/B G
When I leGft my home and my family
I was no more than a boyG/F# Em
In the comDpany of strangers
In the quCiet of the railway station running scared G
G/F#Laying lEmow, seeking out theD poorer quarters C
Where the ragged people go G
Looking for the Dplaces only they would know C Em G/F# G
Lie-la-lEmie
Lie-la-Dlie la lie-la-lie
Lie la Emlie
Lie-la-Clie la la la la lie Dla la la la lGie
Asking only Gworkman's wages
I come looking for a jobG/F# Em
But I get no offerDs,
Just a coCme-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue G
I G/F#do decEmlare, there were times Dwhen I was so lonesome C
I took some comfort Gthere
Then I'm Glaying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gG/F#one Em
Going homeD
Where the New YoCrk City winters aren't bleeding me G
BleediG/F#ng meEm, going homDe
In the cleGaring stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trG/F#ade Em
And he carriesD the reminders
Of ev'Cry glove that layed him down
Or cut himG till he cried out
In his anger and his G/F#shame Em
"I aDm leaving, I am leavingC"
But the fighter still remains G
