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

Chorus
