Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer (with lyrics)

[Gbm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
I am just a poor boy, though my [Gb] story's seldom [Abm]
told
I [Gb] squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles
[B] Such are promises
_ _ [Gb] All [Abm] lies and jests, [Gb] still the man [E] hears what he wants to hear
And [Gb] disregards the [B] rest
[Gb] When _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I left my home and my family, I was [Gb] no more [Abm] than a boy
[Gb] In the company of strangers, in the quiet of the railway [B] station, running scared
_ _ [Gb] [Abm] They know, [Gb] seeking out the [E] poor quarters where the ragged [B] people go
[Gb] Looking for the [E] places only [B] they would know
[Abm] La la la, _ la la [Ebm] la la, la la la, la la [Abm] la, _ la [Gb] la la la la la la la la la [B] la la la _ _ _ _ _ la
Asking only workers' wages I come looking [Abm] for a job but I [Gb] get no offers
_ Just to come home from the whores on [B] 7th Avenue
_ [Gb] I do [Abm] declare [Gb] there were times when I [E] was so lonesome I took some comfort [B] there
La la [Gb] la, la la la la, _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _

_ _ [Gb] _ _ la la [B] _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ la
[B] Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and [Gb] wishing [Abm] I was gone, [Gb] going home
_ Where the New York City winters [B] aren't bleeding me, [Ebm] _ leading _ [Abm] _
me, [Gb] going home _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter [Gb] by [Abm] his trade
And [Gb] he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
[B] All contently cried out in his [Gb] anger and [Abm] his shame
I [Gb] am leaving, I [E] am leaving but the fighter [Gb] still remains
_ _ [E] La [B] _ _ _
[Abm] la la, _ la [Ebm] la la la, la la la, la [Ab] la la _ [Gb] la la la la _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Ab] la la la la [Abm] la la la _ [Gb] la la _ _
