The Boxer | Simon & Garfunkel (Jonathan Gabriel acoustic cover)
This is one of Jon's favorite Oldies-but-Goodies acoustics music of the 60s, 70s & 80s with guitar plucking is at its best in his high school days. He'd been an avid follower of Simon and Garfunkel since he learned to play the guitar at his younger age of 15 which he developed by just watching
his friends doing such when he joined the church choir in his home town. Jon picked most songs if not all, that has unique guitar 'plucking pattern' such as this song The Boxer and is always willing to teach his musician friends who wish to learn how to do it. Guitar plucking to him is a unique
tool to do a steady rhythmic finger movement without shaking your wrist instead of just simply strumming the strings. Jon can listen to an original music and picks up the exact plucking pattern like this in one sitting.

The Boxer Song Lyrics:
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
Uhhmmm! Uhmmmm! Huhhummm!

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

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie-la-la-lie-la-lie-la-lieee

Now the years are rolling by me
They are rocking evenly
And I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be
But that's not unusual

No, it isn't strange
After changes upon changes
We are more or less the same
After changes we are
More or less the same

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't leading me
Leading me
To going home

Now the years are rolling by me
They are rockin evenly
I am older than I once was
And younger than I'll be that's not unusual
Oh it isn't strange after changes upon changes
We are more than just the same
After changes we are more than just the same
Lie la lie! Lie la lie la lie la lie, Lie la lei
Lie la lie, la lie la lie, la la la la liiiieee!

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
And cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains, he's still remains

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
