Chords for The Boxer by Mumford and Sons Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I am just a poor boy, though my story's [A] seldom told
I [G] squandered my resistance for a [F] pocket full of mumbles
Such are [C] promises, all lies and [Am] jests
Still the man hears what [F] he wants to hear and _ disregards the [C] rest _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I left my home and my family I was no more than [Am] a boy
In [G] the company of strangers, in [F] the quiet of the railway stations, [C] running _ scared
_ [Am] Laying low, seeking [G]
out the poor [F] quarters where the ragged people [C] go
Looking [G] for the places [F] only they will [C] _ know
Well, lie lie [Am] lie, _ _ _ lie lie [G] lie lie lie, _ lie lie [Am] lie
_ lie lie [F] lie lie lie [C] lie lie lie lie _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a [Am] job but I get no [G] offers
_ Just [F] to come on from the whores on [C] 7th Avenue _ I do [Am] declare there [G] were times
when I was [F] so lonesome I took some comfort [C] _
there
_ Then _ _ _ _ I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I [Am] was home going [G] _
home
_ Where the [F] New York City winters aren't [C] bleeding me, _ [Am] bleeding _ me _ [G] going _ _ _ home

[C] _ _ _ [G] _ In [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his [Am] trade and he [G] carries the
reminder _ [F] of every glove that laid him down and [C] cut him till he cried out in
his anger and [Am] his shame I [G] am leaving I [F] am leaving but the fighter still _ [C] _
remains
