The Boxer Tab by Simon And Garfunkel, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com
I am just a poor boy Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest

Learn to play "The Boxer" with online video lessons
When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know
Lie la lie ...
Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job
But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was gone Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Bleeding me, going home
In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains
Lie la lie ...

I am just a poor boy    Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance    For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests    Still a man hears what he wants to hear    And disregards the rest

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

Lie la lie ...

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

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes    And wishing I was gone    Going home    
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me    Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer    And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders    Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out    In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"    But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...


Tune all strings down one half step.

the boxer, written by paul simon, art garfunkel, sung by simon and garfunkel

tuning half step down. sounds fine with standard tuning tho. and also in the song, they are a little flat
on their tuning.
Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

this song uses travis picking, which is in most simon and garfunkel songs
basically a rocking baseline with your thumb on the 3 lowest strings then alternating high notes.

h - hammer on
p - pulloff

verse 1: 
Many's the time I've been mistaken, 
and many times confused 
Yes, and I've always felt forsaken, 
and certainly misused. 
Ah, but I'm all right, I'm all right. 
I'm just weary to my bones. 
Still you don't expect to be bright and bonvivant, 
so far away from home, 
so far away from home. 

verse 2: 
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered. 
I don't have a friend who feels at ease. 
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered, 
or driven to it's knees. 
Ah, but it's all right.  It's all right. 
For we've lived so well so long. 
Still, when I think of the road we're travelin' on, 
I wonder what's gone wrong.   
I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong. 

Part B 

And I dreamed I was dying. 
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly, 
and looking back down at me, smiled reassuringly. 
And I dreamed I was flying,  
and high up above my eyes could clearly see 
the Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea. 
And I dreamed I was flying. 
And we come on the ship they call the Mayflower. 
We come on the ship that sailed the moon.   
We come in age's most uncertain hours, 
and sing an American tune. 
Oh, and it's all right, it's all right, 
it's all right. 
You can't be forever blessed. 
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day 
and I'm tryin' to get some rest; 
that's all - I'm trying to get some rest.
