Title:				THE BOXER			(Simon)

C                                             Am
		I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
		       G
		I have squandered my resistance
		      G7             G6                C
		For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
		             Am            G                 F
		All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear
		                   C     G  G7  G6  C
		And disregards the rest

C                                                       Am
		When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy
		       G
	 	In the company of strangers
		       G7         G6               C
		In the quiet of a railway station, running scared
		       Am           G              F
		Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
		                        C
		Where the ragged people go
		        G              G7   G6         C
		Looking for the places only they would know

Am G Am G F C
		Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie Lie la lie

C                                                Am
		Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
		             G
		But I get no offers
		       G7               G6                C
		Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
		       Am                G                F
		I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
		                    C
		I took some comfort there
		G                  G7  G6  C
		Lie lie lie lie la

C                                                       Am
		Then I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone
		      G              G7            G6                      C
		Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
		          Am      G
		Leading me, going home.

C                                            Am
		In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
		       G            G7                        G6
		And he carries a reminder ov ev'ry glove that laid him down
		   C                                               Am
		Or cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
		       G              F
		I am leaving, I am leaving
                                      C
		But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ... etc.
