The Boxer (chromatic) Harmonica Tab

By: Paul Simon

Key: C

7 7 7 -7 7 6
I am just a poor boy,
6 -6 7 7 8 -8 -7
though my stor-y’s sel-dom told.
-7 -8 -7 7 7 -7 7 -5
I have squan-dered my re-sis-tance,
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
For a poc-ket-ful of mum-bles,
5 -5 -6 6 5
such are prom-is-es.
8 8 -8 8
All lies and jest.
8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7 -7
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
-7 -7 -7 7 -6 7
and dis-re-gards the rest.
6 -6 7 -5 -5 6 -6 6 -5 5
mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm,

6 -6 7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6
When I left my home and my fam-i-ly
6 -6 7 8 8 -8 -7
I was no more than a boy,
-7 -7 -7 7 7 7 7 -5
In the com-pan-y of strang-ers,
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5 -5
In the qui-et of the rail-way sta-tion,
-6 6 5 8 -8 8
Run-nin’ scared. Lay-ing low,
8 -8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7
seek-ing out the poor-er quar-ters,
-7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 7
Where the rag-ged peo-ple go.
6 -6 7 -5 -5 6
Look-in’ for the plac-es,
-6 -6 6 -5 5
on-ly they would know.

8 -8 8 8 -8 8 -8 -8 -7 7
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la lie la lie
8 -8 8 -9 10 -10 10 -9 8 -9
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la la la la
8 8 8 -8 8
la la la la lie

7 7 7 7 7 7 7 6
Ask-ing on-ly work-man’s wag-es
5 -5 6 6 6 6 6
I come look-in’ for a job,
6 6 6 6 6 -5
But I get no of-fers,
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Just a come-on from the whores
6 5 -5 -6 6 5
on Sev-enth Ave-n-ue.
8 8 -8 8 8 8 -8
I do de-clare there were times
-8 -8 -8 -8 -7 -7
when I was so lone-some,
-7 -7 -7 7 -6 7
I took some com-fort there.

8 -8 8 8 -8 8 -8 -8 -7 7
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la lie la lie
8 -8 8 -9 10 -10 10 -9 8 -9
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la la la la
8 8 8 -8 8
la la la la lie

6 -6 7 7 7 7 7 6 6
And I’m lay-ing out my win-ter clothes,
-6 7 8 8 -8 -7 -7 6 7
and wish-ing I was gone, go-in’ home
-5 6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
Where the New York Ci-ty win-ters
5 -5 -6 6 5 8 -8 -7 -7 6 7
Are-n’t bleed-in’ me, lead-in’ me go-in’ home.

6 -6 7 7 7 7 7 6
In the clear-ing stands a box-er
6 -6 7 8 8 -8 -7
and a fight-er by his trade,
-7 -7 -7 7 7 7 7 -5
And he car-ries the re-mind-ers
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 5
of ev-‘ry glove that laid him down,
-5 -6 6 5 -5 -6 6
Or cut him ’til he cried out
7 7 7 8 8 -8 8
in his an-ger and his shame,
8 8 8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7
“I am leav-ing, I am leav-ing.”
-7 -7 -7 -7 7 -6 7
But the fight-er still re-mains.

8 -8 8 8 -8 8 -8 -8 -7 7
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la lie la lie
8 -8 8 -9 10 -10 10 -9 8 -9
Lie-la-lie, Lie-la-lie la la la la
8 8 8 -8 8
la la la la lie
