Morrissey - Boxers tab Thanks to whoever wrote the Boxers chord page, very helpful for this. This is for the recorded version like the Boxers chords page; it is in the key of A and starts with the A/D sequence. For the live version, play everything two frets higher, or w/ a capo at 2nd fret (intro chords are B/E). Intro Play barre chords at the fifth fret for the intro. Listen to the recording for the rhythm.
