Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to A/Dm is the only part that I am not totally
convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily and the A/Dm is similar
enough.

"My Favorite Boxer"-Written by Kevin Barnes Performed by of Montreal
-----------------------
( G5 )Hector ( F5 )Ormano?s my ( Eb5 )favorite box( A-)er
He( Bb5 ) goes( A5 ) sma( F5 )sho and E( Bb5 )very( Bb5 ) one( F5 ) ( G5 ) Cheers ( F5 )
( G5 )He turns big ( F5 )men to ( Eb5 )whimpering co( A-)wards
( Bb5 )He?s ( A5 )so ( F5 )strong and ( Bb5 )how ( Bb5 )I ( F5 )ad ( G5 )ore ( F5 )him

Change to Ab5 2/4:
But ( C5 )im so ( C#5 )weak 
So much so that( Eb5 )I?m( Ab5 )afraid to walk alone down my street
( C#5 )I know I?ll( Eb5 )never be as brave as ( D5 )Hector Ormano!

Change to C#5 2/8(?):
( C#5 )One ( Ab5 )summer ( Bb5 )day I was ( Ab5 )sitting ( F#5 )on the bridge( Ab5 )
( Ab5 )Looking at the water be( C#5 )low
( C#5 )When I hear ( C5 )some ( Bb5 )laughter and A5 fa( Ab5 )mili( F#5 )ar voice( Ab5 )
Coming from down the road(Ab)
It was ( Eb5 )then that I saw and my ( Ab5 )heart nearly dropped
I saw ( Eb5 ) Hector Ormano with some ( F#5 )friends
And ( Ab5 )as they approached my ( F#5 )mind went blank
As I ( Ab5 )struggled to find the words
I was ( Ab5 )dying to ( C#5 )tell him ( Bb5 )( F5 )( F#5 )( Ab->7)( C#5 )

( C#5 )As Hector ( Ab5 )walked ( Bb5 )by he picked up a ( Ab5 )stick
And ( Ab5 )threw it at my ( C#5 )head
( C#5 )His friends ( Ab5 )went ( Bb5 )quiet and ( Ab5 )Hector said to me( Ab5 )
What are you looking at (Db)wimp?
( C#5 )HHHHHEEEECCCTTTTTOOOORRRR!!!!!!

Back to Bb 4/4:
( G5 )Hector Or( F5 )mano?s my ( Eb5 )favorite box( A-)er
( Bb5 ) Ev( A5 )en ( F5 )thought he ( Bb5 )was ( Bb5 )mean ( F5 )to ( G5 ) me.  ( F5 )
( G5 )My father ( F5 )thinks im A5 ( Eb5 )meaningless no ( A-)one
( Bb5 )Compared ( A5 )to the ( F5 )perfect ( Bb5 )Hec ( Bb5 )tor ( F5 )Or ( G5 )ma ( F5 )no
Hum( Bb5 )( F5 )( G5 )( F5 )
