Akkorde The Boxer

Verse 1:
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 pocketful 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
                                                                                 Am
When I left my home and 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                                               C
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters 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 la lie-la-lie Lie la lie Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

Verse 2:
                                                                             Am
Asking only workmans 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                                                 C
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
G                           G7 G6  C
Ooo-la-la la la la la

Instrumental: C - Am - G - G7 - G6 - C - Am - G - F - C - G - G7 - G6 - C

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

Verse 3:
C
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
                            Am
And wishing I was gone 
            G                   G7     G6                               C
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
           Am
Leading me
          G          C
Going Home
                                                                          Am
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
           G
And he carries the reminders 
        G                  G6       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            G  Am G F  C
"I am Leaving, I am Leaving." But the Fighter still remains

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