Chords for Lee Dewyze- The Boxer (lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ I am just a poor boy, though my story [Cm] seldom told
I [Bb] have squandered my resistance for a pocket full [Fm] of mumble
[Eb] Such are promises
_ _ All [Cm] lies in chest, [Bb] still a man hears [Ab] when he wants to hear
It [Eb] disregards the rest
[Bb] _
When _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I left my home and my family
I was no more [Cm] than a boy [Bb] in the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway [Eb] station, running scared _
_ [Cm] Laying low, [Bb] seeking out the poor [Ab] and callers
Where the ragged [Eb] people go
[Bb] Looking for the [Ab] places only [Eb] they would know
La [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ la _ [Eb] la _ _
_ _ _ Asking on workman's wages
I come looking [Cm] for a job but I [Bb] get no offer _
Just a comer from the hoards on [Eb] South Avenue _ _
I [Cm] do declare there [Bb] were times when I [Ab] was so old
I took some [Eb] comfort there
[Bb] La la la _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ And now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
[Cm] And [Bb] I am the one who was
And younger than I'll be
That's [Eb] not unusual
_ _ It [Cm] isn't strange
[Bb] After changes, [Ab] the world changes
We are more or [Eb] less the same [Bb] After changes
[Ab] We are more or [Eb] less the same
_ [Cm] La la la
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ [Bb] And _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing [Cm] I was home, [Bb] going home
Where the New York City winters [Eb] aren't bleeding me
[Gm] _ Leading _ [Cm] me, _ [Bb] going home _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter [Cm] by his trade
[Bb] And he carries the reminder
Of every glove that laid him [Eb] down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger [Cm] and his shame
[Bb] I am leaving, [Ab] I am leaving
But the fighter still remains
[Bb] I am leaving, [Ab] but the fighter [Eb] still remains _ _
