                                 The Boxer

                                                         Simon & Garfunkel

(Capo 2nd fret)
  A
   A                                        A/G#   F#m
    I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
           E                              E7
    I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles
             A                      F#m
    Such are promises, all lies and jest
             E                 D                                A    E  A
    Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest

    When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
    In the company of strangers in the quiet of the railway station
    Running scared, laying low
            E              D                                A
    Seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
              E              D               A
      looking for the places only they would know

                      F#m         C#m
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
                      F#m         E               E7              A
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie

    Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
    But I get no offers - just a come-on from the whores
    On Seventh Avenue - I do declare
               E                D                               A    E  A
    There were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
                   *Interlude*   (verse)

               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie

    Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
    Going home where the New York City winters
           A          C#m        F#m
    Aren't bleeding me - leading me
          E    A
    Going home

    In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
    And he carries the reminders of ev'ry glove that laid him down
      or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
    On Seventh Avenue - I do declare
          E             D                                 A      E  D  A
    "I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains

                      F#m         C#m
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
                       F#m         E               E7              F#m
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie
                      C#m
               Lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
                      F#m         E               E7              F#m
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie

               Lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie
               Lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie

               Lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie
               Lie-la-lie-lie-lie, la-lie
               Lie-la-lie, lie-la-lie-lie-lie-lie-lie, lie-lie-la-lie...
