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
-----------------------
( Gm )Hector ( F )Ormano?s my ( Ebm )favorite box( A-)er
He( Bb ) goes( A/Dm ) sma( F7 )sho and E( Bb )very( Bb/Dm ) one( F7 ) ( G/Eb ) Cheers ( F )
( Gm )He turns big ( F )men to ( Ebm )whimpering co( A-)wards
( Bb )He?s ( A/Dm )so ( F7 )strong and ( Bb )how ( Bb/Dm )I ( F7 )ad ( G/Eb )ore ( F )him

Change to Ab 2/4:
But ( Cm )im so ( C# )weak 
So much so that( Eb )I?m( Ab )afraid to walk alone down my street
( C# )I know I?ll( Eb/Cm )never be as brave as ( D )Hector Ormano!

Change to C# 2/8(?):
( C# )One ( Ab )summer ( Bbm )day I was ( Ab )sitting ( F# )on the bridge( Ab )
( Ab7 )Looking at the water be( C# )low
( C# )When I hear ( C7 )some ( Bbm )laughter and A fa( Ab )mili( F# )ar voice( Ab )
Coming from down the road(Ab)
It was ( Eb/Cm )then that I saw and my ( Ab )heart nearly dropped
I saw ( Eb/Cm ) Hector Ormano with some ( F# )friends
And ( Ab )as they approached my ( F# )mind went blank
As I ( Ab )struggled to find the words
I was ( Ab7 )dying to ( C# )tell him ( Bbm )( Fm )( F# )( Ab->7)( C# )

( C# )As Hector ( Ab )walked ( Bbm )by he picked up a ( Ab )stick
And ( Ab7 )threw it at my ( C# )head
( C# )His friends ( Ab )went ( Bbm )quiet and ( Ab )Hector said to me( Ab7 )
What are you looking at (Db)wimp?
( C# )HHHHHEEEECCCTTTTTOOOORRRR!!!!!!

Back to Bb 4/4:
( Gm )Hector Or( F )mano?s my ( Ebm )favorite box( A-)er
( Bb ) Ev( A/Dm )en ( F7 )thought he ( Bb )was ( Bb/Dm )mean ( F7 )to ( G/Eb ) me.  ( F )
( Gm )My father ( F )thinks im A ( Ebm )meaningless no ( A-)one
( Bb )Compared ( A/Dm )to the ( F7 )perfect ( Bb )Hec ( Bb/Dm )tor ( F7 )Or ( G/Eb )ma ( F )no
Hum( Bb/Dm )( F7 )( G/Eb )( F )
