The Boxer chords by Simon & Garfunkel (Ver. 3)

Hey folks, here's the fixed version! This song sounds best using the
Em7 with using just your birdie finger, usually just "walking"
the base note from the C down to the Am.

Em7 x2xx0x
G   32000x

These are the original lyrics; I'm
a girl so singing in first person can be awkward in some companies so I've done a third-person
version as well (girl version).

Anyways, you've got a couple of picking options with this song;
I use the classic pinch Travis picking pattern pretty much all the
way through for this one. This adds a little more sound when using a
single guitar. If you're on a C chord this is what the pattern looks like:
___________________
__o__________o_____
________o__________
_____o_________o___
__o_______o________
___________________  (Pinch, in-side out-side in)

Or you can use the alternating outside/inside pattern at the end of the intro:

The Boxer
Simon and Garfunkel

C
I am just a poor boy
                  Em7    Am
Though my story's seldom told,
       G
I have squandered my resistance
      G7                               C
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
    Em7      Am
All lies and jests
        G                 F
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
                   C       G   G7   C
And disregards the rest

       C
When I left my home and my family,
              Em7    Am
I was no more than a boy
       G
In the company of strangers
       G7
In the quiet of the railway station,
C
Running scared,
Em7    Am           G              F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
                        G
Where the ragged people go
        G
Looking for the places
G7   G          C
Only they would know

C   Em7 Am          Em7
Lie la  lie, lie la la la la lie lie
       Am         F            G                C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie

       C
Asking only workman's wages
                Em7  Am
I come looking for a job,
             G
But I get no offers,
       G7
Just a come-on from the whores
           C
On Seventh Avenue
  Em7   Am
I do  declare,
           G                F
There were times when I was so lonesome
                    C                          G  G7   C
I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le

C   Em7 Am          Em7
Lie la  lie, lie la la la la lie lie
       Am         F            G                C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie

         C
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
            Em7   Am
And wishing I was gone,
      G
Going home
          G7
Where the New York City winters
       C
Aren't bleeding me,
Em7     Am
Leading me,
      G
Going home

       C
In the clearing stands a boxer,
              Em7    Am
And a fighter by his trade
       G
And he carries the reminders
   G7
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
   C
Or cut him till he cried out
             Em7     Am
In his anger and his shame,
      G             F
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
                      C                G  G7  C
But the fighter still remains, mmm mmm

C   Em7 Am          Em7
Lie la  lie, lie la la la la lie lie
       Am         F            G                C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
C   Em7 Am          Em7
Lie la  lie, lie la la la la lie lie
       Am         F            G                C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
C   Em7 Am          Em7
Lie la  lie, lie la la la la lie lie
       Am         F            G                C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
