Chords for Simon And Garfunkel The Boxer

_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ I am just a poor boy, though my story [Bbm] is [Abm] seldom told
I [Gb] squandered my resistance for a pocket full of mumbles

And disregards the rest
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [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
_ _ [Db]
They ain't no [Gb] seeking out the poor [E] quarters where the ragged people [B] go
Looking for the [E] places only [B] they would know
[Abm] Lie, lie, lie, lie, [Ebm] lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Gb]
lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Asking only workers' wages, I come looking [Abm] for a job
But I get no [Gb] offers
_ Just to come home from the horizon, [B] 7th Ave _ _ _
I do [Abm] declare there [Gb] were times when I [E] was so lonesome I took some [B] comfort in la [Gb] la la la

Then I'm hanging out my winter clothes and [Gb] wishing I was gone going home
Where the New York City [B] winters aren't bleeding me
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] bleeding me
going home _ _

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by [Abm] his train
And [Gb] he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
[B] All cut to tin till he cried out in his [Bbm] anger and his shame
[Gb] I am leaving [E] I am leaving but the [Db] fighter still remains
