Chris de Burgh - Just Another Poor Boy
Author And Composer: Chris de Burgh
|
G Em
|
|
He was but a traveller
|
|
C D G
|
|
On the lonely road of life
|
|
G Em
|
|
She, her name was Mary
|
|
Am D
|
|
A lady of the night
|
|
C D
|
|
She found him lying in that road
|
|
B Em
|
|
On a winter's night so cold
|
|
Am D
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
G C D G C D
|
|
Treat him right
|
|
G Em
|
|
She saw that he was hungry
|
|
C D G
|
|
And gave him food to eat
|
|
G Em
|
|
She knew that he was weary
|
|
Am D
|
|
and he had no place to sleep
|
|
C D
|
|
She took him home to her own bed
|
|
B Em
|
|
She lay down his wounded head
|
|
Am D
|
|
And washed away the world from
|
|
G C D G B
|
|
his hands and his feet
|
|
Em D
|
|
He was just another poor boy
|
|
C
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
G D Em
|
|
When he cried out in his sleep
|
|
D C
|
|
She held him tight
|
|
Em D
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
C
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
G D
|
|
And she gave him love
|
|
Em C
|
|
And comfort through the night
|
|
Em D C G
|
|
Till the mornings light
|
|
G Em
|
|
At night she sat beside him
|
|
C D G
|
|
By the fire he would talk
|
|
G Em
|
|
He said all men were brothers
|
|
Am D
|
|
And that love could conquer all
|
|
C D
|
|
Many gathered round to hear
|
|
B Em
|
|
Many for his life did fear
|
|
Am D
|
|
In trouble times like these
|
|
G C D G B
|
|
Men seldom talked
|
|
G Em
|
|
Oh they came to him one morning
|
|
C D G
|
|
At the breaking of the day
|
|
G Em
|
|
She woke to hear him calling
|
|
Am D
|
|
As they carried him away
|
|
C D
|
|
Accusing him of spreading lies
|
|
And hate
|
|
B
|
|
His public meetings were
|
|
Em
|
|
A danger to the state
|
|
C
|
|
Some soldier said
|
|
D E
|
|
"Who was he anyway?"
|
|
F#m E
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
D
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
A
|
|
And the tears were falling
|
|
E F#m E D
|
|
From her face like rain
|
|
F#m E
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
D
|
|
Just another poor boy
|
|
A E
|
|
And they hung him on
|
|
F#m D
|
|
The hillside far away
