# : Mon, 11 Sep 1995 04:03 EST Subject: BOXER.CRD The Boxer by Paul Simon from the Album "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" C Am I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told G I have squandered my resistance C For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises Am G F All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear C G C And disregards the rest Am When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy G In the company of strangers Dm7 C In the quiet of a railway station running scared Am G F Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go G F Em Dm C Looking for the places only they would know Am Lie-la-lie G Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie Am Lie la lie G F G C Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie Am Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job G But I get no offers Dm7 C Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue Am Dm7 G F C I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there G C Ooo-la-la la la la la Am Lie-la-lie G Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie Am Lie la lie G F G C Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie C Then I'm laying out my winter clothes G7 C Am And wishing I was gone G Dm7 G7 G C Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Am Leading me G Going Home C Am In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade G And he carries the reminders G7 C Dm7 G7 C Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out Am In his anger and his shame G F C "I am Leaving, I am Leaving." But the Fighter still remains G C G F C Am Lie-la-lie G Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie Am Lie la lie G F Am Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie Repeat & Fade
