The Boxer chords by Simon & Garfunkel (Ver. 3)

Hey folks, here's the fixed version! This song sounds best using the
Em7 with using just your birdie finger, usually just "walking"
the base note from the C down to the Am.

Em7 x2xx0x
G  32000x

These are the original lyrics; I'm
a girl so singing in first person can be awkward in some companies so I've done a third-person
version as well (girl version).

Anyways, you've got a couple of picking options with this song;
I use the classic pinch Travis picking pattern pretty much all the
way through for this one. This adds a little more sound when using a
single guitar. If you're on a C chord this is what the pattern looks like:
___________________
__o__________o_____
________o__________
_____o_________o___
__o_______o________
___________________ (Pinch, in-side out-side in)

Or you can use the alternating outside/inside pattern at the end of the intro:

The Boxer
Simon and Garfunkel

C
I am just a poor boy
         Em7  Am
Though my story's seldom told,
    G
I have squandered my resistance
   G7                C
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
  Em7   Am
All lies and jests
    G         F
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
          C    G  G7  C
And disregards the rest

    C
When I left my home and my family,
       Em7  Am
I was no more than a boy
    G
In the company of strangers
    G7
In the quiet of the railway station,
C
Running scared,
Em7  Am      G       F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
            G
Where the ragged people go
    G
Looking for the places
G7  G     C
Only they would know

C  Em7 Am     Em7
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie lie
    Am     F      G        C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie

    C
Asking only workman's wages
        Em7 Am
I come looking for a job,
       G
But I get no offers,
    G7
Just a come-on from the whores
      C
On Seventh Avenue
 Em7  Am
I do declare,
      G        F
There were times when I was so lonesome
          C             G G7  C
I took some comfort there, le le le le le le le

C  Em7 Am     Em7
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie lie
    Am     F      G        C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie

     C
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
      Em7  Am
And wishing I was gone,
   G
Going home
     G7
Where the New York City winters
    C
Aren't bleeding me,
Em7   Am
Leading me,
   G
Going home

    C
In the clearing stands a boxer,
       Em7  Am
And a fighter by his trade
    G
And he carries the reminders
  G7
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down
  C
Or cut him till he cried out
       Em7   Am
In his anger and his shame,
   G       F
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
           C        G G7 C
But the fighter still remains, mmm mmm

C  Em7 Am     Em7
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie lie
    Am     F      G        C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
C  Em7 Am     Em7
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie lie
    Am     F      G        C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
C  Em7 Am     Em7
Lie la lie, lie la la la la lie lie
    Am     F      G        C
Lie la lie, la la Lie la la la Lie la la la lah lie
