Capo: 3

The Boxer chords (version 1) Simon and Garfunkel * Capo II A

^AI am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom ^F#mtold. I have ^Esquandered my resistance, For a ^E7pocketful of ^Emumbles, such are ^Apromises. All lies and ^F#mjest; Still, a ^Eman hears what he ^Dwants to hear and disregards the ^Arest^E. ^E7 ^E ^A

When I ^Aleft my home and my family I was no more than a ^F#mboy, In the ^Ecompany of strangers, In the ^E7quiet of the ^Erailway station, ^Arunnin' scared. Laying ^F#mlow, seeking ^Eout the poorer ^Dquarters, Where the ragged people ^Ago. Lookin' ^Efor the places, ^Donly ^Ethey ^E7would ^Aknow.

Asking ^Aonly workman's wages I come lookin' for a ^F#mjob, But I get no ^Eoffers, Just a ^E7come-on from the ^Ewhores on Seventh ^AAvenue. I do de^F#mclare there were ^Etimes when I was so ^Dlonesome, I took some comfort ^Athere.^E ^E7 ^E ^A

In the ^Aclearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his ^F#mtrade, And he ^Ecarries the reminders, of ^E7every glove that ^Elaid him down, Or ^Acut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his ^F#mshame, "^EI am leaving, ^DI am leaving." But the fighter still re^Amains^E ^E7 ^E ^A
