The boxer Simon & Garfunkel
[C]I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom to[Am]ld
I have squa[G]ndered my existence
For a [G7]pocketful of mumbles such are [C]promises[Cmaj7]
A[Am]ll lies and jest still a m[G]an hears what he wa[F]nts to hear
And disregards the r[C]est[G] [G7] [G6] [C]
When I left my home and family I was no more than a b[Am]oy
In the co[G]mpany of strangers
In the q[G7]uiet of a railway station [C]running scared
Laying [Am]low seeking o[G]ut the poorer qua[F]rters where the ragged people [C]go
Looking f[G]or the places o[G7]nly they would k[C]now
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a j[Am]ob
But I get no off[G]ers
Just a co[G7]me-on from the girls on seventh a[C]venue
I do dec[Am]lare there were tim[G7]es when I was [F]so lonesome
I took some comfort th[C]ere. Ooo-la-l[G]a la la la la[C]
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
.
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
T[C]hen I'm laying out my winter clothes
And [C]wishing I was g[Am]one
Going h[G]ome where the [G7]New York City winters aren't [C]bleeding me
Leading me[Am]
Going Ho[G]me [G run] [C]
In the [C]clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his [Am]trade
And he car[G]ries the reminders
Of e[G7]v'ry glove that laid him down or [C]cut him 'til he cried out[C]
In his anger and his sha[Am]me
"I am Le[G]aving, I am Lea[F]ving." But the Fighter still r[C]emains
[G] [G7] [C]
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
Lie-la-l[Am]ie -- Lie-la-l[G]ie la lie-la-lie -- Lie la l[Am]ie
[G]Lie-la-lie la la la la l[F]ie la la la la l[C]ie
