The Boxer Mumford & Sons
[Verse]
[C]I am just a poor boy
Though my [C]story's [Em]seldom t[Am]old
I have [G]squandered my resistance
For a [G7]pocket full of [G6]mumbles such are [C]promises
[C]All [(G)]lies and [Am]jests
Still a [G]man hears what he [F]wants to hear
And disregards the [C]rest[C]
When I [C]left my home and my family
I was [C]no more [Em]than a b[Am]oy
In the [G]company of strangers
In the [G7]quiet of the [G6]railway station runn[C]ing scared
[(G)]Laying l[Am]ow, seeking o[G]ut the poorer qu[F]arters
Where the ragged people [C]go
Looking f[G]or the places [F]only they would [C]know
[Cborus]
[Am] [G]
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Am]lie Lie-la-[F]lie la la la [G]la lie la la la la l[C]ie
[Verse]
Asking [C]only workman's wages
I come [C]looking [Em]for a j[Am]ob
But I get no [G]offers,
Just a [G7]come-on from the [G6]whores on Seventh [C]Avenue
I [Em]do decla[Am]re, there were tim[G]es when I was so lon[F]esome
I took some comfort [C]there
Then I'm [C]laying out my winter clothes
And [C]wishing [Em]I was go[Am]ne
Going [G]home
Where the [G7]New York City [G6]winters aren't [C]bleeding me
[Em]Bleeding [Am]me, going hom[G]e

[C]La laaa [C]La [Em]la l[Am]aa [G]Ahhh

During solo play the verse chord progression
[Bridge]
In the [C]clearing stands a boxer
And a [C]fighter [G]by his [Am]trade
And he [G]carries the reminders
Of [G7]ev'ry glove that [G6]layed him down
Or [C]cut him till he cried out
In his anger [Em]and his sha[Am]me
"I am [G]leaving, I am l[F]eaving"
But the fighter still re[C]mains
