Chords for Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer (BINAURAL QUAD)

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
I am just a poor boy, though my story's [Abm] seldom told
[Gb] I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, [B] such are promises
_ _ [Abm] All lies and [Gb] jests, still the man [B] hears
What he wants to hear and [Db] disregards the rest Me
[Gb] _ _ _ _ Me
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I left my home and my family
I was no [Abm] more than a boy in [Gb] the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway [B] station, running scared
_ _ [Abm] Laying low, [Gb] seeking out the [E] poor quarters
Where the ragged [B] people go
[Gb] Looking for the places [E] only they [B] would know
By [Abm] the lights
By [Ebm] the light, light, light, light, light
By [Abm] the lights
Light, _ [Gb] light, light, light, light, light, light, [B] _ light _ _ _
_ Asking only weapons, wages
I come looking [Abm] for a job, but I get no [Gb] offers
_ Just to come home from the wars on [B] 7th Avenue _ _
I do [Abm] declare, there [Gb] were times when [E] I was so lonesome
I took some [B] comfort there
La, [Gb] la, la, la, la, la, la, la _

_ _ _ _ _ Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing [Abm] I was [Gb] gone, going home
_ _ Where the New York City winters [B] aren't bleeding me
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] Bleeding me [Gb] Go home _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter
[Abm] By his trade, [Gb] and he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him [B] down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger [Abm] and his shame
[Gb] I am leaving, [E] I am leaving
But the fighter [Gb] still remains
