The Boxer ? Simon & Garfunkel
G5 : 320030; E5 : X22000
C5 E5 A5
I am just a poor boy though my story?s seldom told
G5
I have squandered my resistance
G5 G5 C5
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
A5 G5 F5
All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear
C5 G5 F5 E5 C5
And disregards the rest hmhmhmhmhm
C5 E5 A5
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
G5
In the company of strangers
G5 G5 C5
In the quiet of a railway station, running scared
A5 G5 F5
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
C5
Where the ragged people go
G5 F5 G5 C5
Looking for the places only they would know
A5 G5 A5
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie, lie la lie
F5 G5 C5
Lie la lie la la la la, lie la la la la lie.
C5 E5 A5
Asking only workman?s wages I come looking for a job
G5
But I get no offers
G5 G5 C5
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh? Avenue
A5 G5 F5
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
C5
I took some comfort there
G5 F5 E5 C5 G5 G5 C5
La la la la la Interlude
A5 G5 A5
Lie la lie, lie la la la la la lie, lie la lie
F5 G5 C5
Lie la lie la la la la, lie la la la la lie.
C5 E5 A5
Then I?m laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
G5 G5
Going home?.. where the New York City winters aren?t
C5 A5
bleeding me
E5 A5 G5
Leading me, going home
C5 E5 A5
In the clearing stands the boxer and a fighter by his trade
G5 G5
And he carries a reminder of ev?ry glove that laid him down
C5 A5
Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
G5 F5
I am leaving, I am leaving
C5
But the fighter still remains
A5
Lie la lie lie la and so on ??..again if you want
