Guitar: The Boxer (Simon and Garfunkel cover)

I always loved Simon and Garfunkel's records, but strangely I have rarely sung any of their songs, mainly because I could never find the chords for them. However, I have wanted to try this one out for some time, so have worked out the chords for myself.

what drove you to change the verse in the middle there?

[threelegsoman]

@nomusician That's the way that verse is written; fewer lyrics but it is followed by an instrumental that I am not competent enough to play.

great cover! how old is your Eko ?ranger? ?

[threelegsoman]

@omassi Thanks for your kind comment. My guitar is nearly 40 years old as is my 12-string EKO

nice lil cover. I'm trying to learn the finger picking version original and the same version Sunga Jung plays as well, but I like this could be your folky vocals -sounds almost sea shanty-ish with a bit of liverpool accent, nice one.

[threelegsoman]

@WongFeiFox Thank you very much. The hint of a Liverpool accent is actually more a hint of a Manx accent, but as the Isle of Man is half way between Liverpool and Ireland I suppose it is a little like Scouse.  :-))
