The Boxer Mumford & Sons
I am just a poor[C] boy
Though my s[C]tory's s[E]eldom [Am]told
I have [G]squandered my resistance
For a [G7]pocket full of m[F]umbles such are [C]promises
[C]All li[E]es and j[Am]ests
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 [E]than a[Am] boy
In the [G]company of strangers
In the [G7]quiet of the r[F]ailway station ru[C]nning scared[C]
[E]Laying [Am]low, seeking [G]out the poorer q[F]uarters
Where the ragged people [C]go
Looking f[G]or the places [F]only they would [C]know
Lie-la-l[Am]ie
Lie-la-[G]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Am]lie
Lie-la-[F]lie la la la la [G]lie la la la la [C]lie
Asking [C]only workman's wages
I come [C]looking [E]for a [Am]job
But I get no [G]offers,
Just a [G7]come-on from the [F]whores on Seventh [C]Avenue
[C] I [E]do d[Am]eclare, there were t[G]imes when I was so l[F]onesome
I took some comfort [C]there
Then I'm [C]laying out my winter clothes
And [C]wishing [E]I was g[Am]one
Going [G]home
Where the [G7]New York City [F]winters aren't [C]bleeding me[C]
[E]Bleeding [A]me, going h[G]ome
[C]La laaa
[C]La [E]la [Am]laa
[G]Ahhh
[C]La laaa
[C]La [E]la [Am]laa
[G]Ahhh
[F]Laa la la[C] la

[C] [E] [Am]
[G] [F] [C]
[G] [F] [C]
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 [F]layed him down
Or [C]cut him till he cried out
In his [Am]anger and his [F]shame
"I am [G]leaving, I am l[F]eaving"
But the [C]fighter still remains
Lie-la-l[Am]ie
Lie-la-[G]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Am]lie
Lie-la-[F]lie la la la la [G]lie la la la la [Am]lie
Lie-la-l[Am]ie
Lie-la-[G]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Am]lie
Lie-la-[F]lie la la la la [G]lie la la la la [Am]lie
Lie-la-[G]lie la lie-la-lie
Lie la [Am]lie
Lie-la-[F]lie la la la la [G]lie la la la la [C]lie
