The Boxer
CAm
I’m just a poor boy, though my story’s seldom told
GC
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
AmGFC
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest

Hmmm, Hmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm
Am
When I left my home and my family, I was no more then a boy
GG7C
In the company of strangers, in the quiet of a railway station running scared
AmGFC
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
GFEmDmC
Looking for the places only they would know
Refrein

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

Asking only workman’s wages, I come looking for a job
GG7C
But I get no offers, just a come-on from the girls on Seventh Avenue
AmGFC
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome, I took some comfort there
GC
Ooo - la - la - la - la - la - la - la
