The Boxer Guitar Chords
C
I am just a poor boy.
C/B Am
Though my story’s seldom told,
G
I have squandered my resistance
G7 G6
For a pocketful of mumbles,
C
Such are promises
C/B Am
All lies and jest
G
Still, a man hears
F
what he wants to hear
C G F G
And disregards the rest.
C
When I left my home
C
And my family,
C/B Am
I was no more than a boy
G
In the company of strangers
G7 G6
In the quiet of the railway station,
C
Running scared,
C/B Am
Laying low,
G F
Seeking out the poorer quarters
C
Where the ragged people go,
G
Looking for the places
F G C
Only they would know.
Am
Lie-la-lie…..
Em
Lie-la-la-la-la lie-la-lie
Am
Lie la lie
G C
Lie-la la la la la lie la la la la lie
C
Asking only workman’s wages
C/B Am
I come looking for a job,
G
But I get no offers.
G7 G6
Just a come-on from the wh*res
C
On Seventh Avenue
C/B Am
I do declare,
G
There were times when
F
I was so lonesome
C
I took some comfort there.
C
Then I’m laying out
C
my winter clothes
C/B Am
And wishing I was gone
G
Going home
G7 G6
Where the New York City winters
C
Aren’t bleeding me,
Em Am
Leading me,
G7 C
Going home.
C
In the clearing stands a boxer,
C/B Am
And a fighter by his trade
G
And he carries the reminders
G7 G6
Of ev’ry glove that laid him down
C
Or cut him till he cried out
C/B Am
In his anger and his shame,
G F
“I am leaving, I am leaving.”
C
But the fighter still remains
Am
Lie-la-lie…..
Em
Lie-la-la-la-la lie-la-lie
Am
Lie la lie
G Am
Lie-la la la la la lie la la la la lie
Am Em
Lie-la-la-la-la lie-la-lie
Am
Lie la lie
G Am
Lie-la la la la la lie la la la la lie (x6)
