Ukulele Chords THE BOXER By SIMON & GARFUNKEL

  VERSION 1  

Verse :
F                                                Dm
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
           C
I have squandered my resistance
                      F
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
             Dm            C                  Bb
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear
                    F      C    F
And disregards the rest

                                                     Dm
When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
         C
In the company of strangers
        Gm7        F
In the quiet of a railway station running scared
       Dm           C                Bb                            F
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
         C              Bb    Am   Gm    F
Looking for the places only they would know

Interlude :
        Dm
Lie-la-lie
        C
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
        Dm
Lie la lie
C                       Bb           C   F
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

Verse :
                                                 Dm
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job
                C
But I get no offers
         Gm7              F
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
        Dm                 Gm7     C     Bb                                 F
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there

Interlude :
        C               F
Ooo-la-la la la la la

        Dm
Lie-la-lie
        C
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
        Dm
Lie la lie
C                       Bb           C   F
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

Verse :
F
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
C7  F              Dm
And wishing I was gone
       C             Gm7      C7               C  F
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
            Dm
Leading me
        C
Going Home

       F                                            Dm
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
          C
And he carries the reminders
    C7               F                        Gm7     C7        F
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out
                        Dm
In his anger and his shame
        C              Bb                              F       C F  C      Bb      F
'I am Leaving, I am Leaving.'  But the Fighter still remains

Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
        Dm
Lie la lie

Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
