The Boxer chords (version 1)
Simon and Garfunkel *
Capo II
A augmentedA
A augmentedA 
F# minorF#m
I am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom told.
E MajorE
I have squandered my resistance,
E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.
F# minorF#m
All lies and jest;
E MajorE 
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy,
E MajorE
In the company of strangers,
E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared.
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
A augmentedA
Where the ragged people go.
E MajorE D MajorD E MajorE E7E7 A augmentedA
Lookin' for the places, only they would know.
F# minorF#m
Lie-la-lie
C# minorC#m
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
F# minorF#m
Lie la lie
E MajorE A augmentedA
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Asking only workman's wages I come lookin' for a job,
E MajorE
But I get no offers,
E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue.
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome,
A augmentedA E MajorE E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
I took some comfort there.
A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
F# minorF#m

C# minorC#m
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
F# minorF#m
Lie la lie
E MajorE A augmentedA
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE
And I'm laying out my winter clothes, and wishing I was gone, goin' home
E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA C# minorC#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me goin' home.
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade,
E MajorE E7E7 E MajorE
And he carries the reminders, of every glove that laid him down,
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame,
E MajorE D MajorD
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
A augmentedA E MajorE E7E7 E MajorE A augmentedA
But the fighter still remains
F# minorF#m
Lie-la-lie
C# minorC#m
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
