The Boxer — Simon and Garfunkel — Простые аккорды для гитары
C Am
I am just a poor boy, though my story is seldom told.
G
I have squandered my resistance,
G7 G6 C
For a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises.
Am
All lies and jest;
G F C G G7 G6 C
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear 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 the railway station, runnin' scared.
Am G F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters,
C
Where the ragged people go.
G F C6 Dm7 C
Lookin' for the places, only they would know.
Am Em Am G C
Lie-da-lie
C Am
Asking only workman's wages I come lookin' 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
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
C Am G
And I'm laying out my winter clothes, and wishing I was gone, goin home
G7 G6 C Em Am G G7 C
Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin me, leadin me goin home.
C Am
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade,
G G7
And he carries the reminders, of every glove that laid him down,
C Am
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame,
G F
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
C G7 G6 C
But the fighter still remains
Am
Lie-la-lie
Em
Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Am
Lie la lie
G
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie (x10)
G C
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
