Boxer chords

Boxer

• C

I play this song with my fingers, as do for most of 
the songs that I submit - fingerstyle playing  adds 
for a more rounded & interesting song - there is no
set pattern for finger-picking this version.

Have fun!!!   Ian C.T. vom Saal

Paul Simon - The Boxer  

CI am just a poor boy though my story's seldom Amtold
I have Gsquandered my resistance 
For a G7pocket full of G6mumbles, such are Cpromises
All lies and Amjest, still a Gman hears what he Fwants to hear
And disregards the Crest G G7 G6 C

When I Cleft my home and my family, I was no more than a Amboy
In the Gcompany of strangers
In the G7quiet of a G6railway station, Crunning scared
Laying Amlow, seeking Gout the poorer Fquarters
Where the ragged people Cgo
Looking Gfor the places G7only Fthey would Cknow
--------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
Lie la Amlie, Lie la Emlie la lie la lie, Lie la Amlie,
GLie la lie la la la la, lie Fla la la la Clie.
--------------------------------------------------------
Asking Conly workman's wages I come looking for a Amjob
But I get no Goffers
Just a G7come-on from the G6whores on Seventh CAvenue
I do deAmclare, there were Gtimes when I was Fso lonesome
I took some comfort Cthere
GLie lie lie lie la F F C

Then I'm Claying out my winter clothes and wishing I was Amgone
GoingGhome where theG7New York City wintersG6aren't Cbleeding me Em
Leading Amme, to going Ghome G7  C

In the Cclearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his Amtrade
And he Gcarries a reminder of ev'ry G7glove that laid him down
Or Ccut him till he cried out in his anger and his Amshame
I Am Gleaving, I Am Fleaving
But the fighter still reCmains  mmmGmm mmmm  G7  C
