Chords for Joan Baez - The Boxer - 12/31/1981 - Oakland Auditorium (Official)

Thank you.
Hi, my name is Joan Baez.
I'm a remnant of the 60s _ _
_ _ _ _ I'll sing you one more song which I hope you'll sing with me
Which is also a remnant of the 60s and then one by one I'll invite out the gentlemen who are [Bb] also remnants of the _ [E] 60s _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Who you're waiting for?
They're waiting for you.
[Bbm] So you should feel good about that
[F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Just a poor boy.
So my [Bb] story's telling tall [C] and I squandered my resistance
On a carpet full of mumbles [F] such a promise
_ All [Dm] lies [C] in just a man [Bb] is what he wants to hear any [F] disregard
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ Okay
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Sing
When [F] I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ left my home and my family I was no [Dm] more than a [C] ball in the company
_ Strangers the quiet of a railway [F] station running _ _ _
[Dm] Laying low [C] seeking out the [Bb] poor quarters where the ragged [F] people go
[C] Looking for the places only [F] they will know
sing
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Dm] Seeking _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ only workman's wages.
I come looking [Dm] for a job, [Am] but I got no offer
[C] Just to come on from the horse [F] on 7th Avenue _
Hong Kong I [Dm] do declare [C] and there were times [Bb] when I was so lonesome.
I took some [F] comfort there [C] Lalalala _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ I'm _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ laying _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ out my winter clothes and wishing I [Dm] was _ _ [C] Going [Am] home
_ [C] where the New York City winters [F] aren't bleeding me
_ [Dm] bleeding me _ [C] going home
[Am] _ _ _ _
_ [F] In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by [Dm] his [C] trade
and he carries the reminders of everyone who cut [F] him down or hurt him
till he cried out in his anger [Dm] and his shame
[C] I am leaving, [Bb] I am leaving
but the fighter [F] still [C] remains
la la la la la la la la la [F] la _
