of Montreal - My Favorite Boxer

      
 
 I saw another tab of this song and I spent 2 hours listening to the song and I noticed the author
 got it parts of it incorrect Thanks for trying though, patrick. Following these chords should help
 you sound just like the band. I think Kevin Barnes is about as good a songwriter as you
 can be, by the way!

 Here are the lyrics with chords. The Bb to Dm/A is the only part that I am not totally
 convinced is correct, but I couldn't interpret that spot easily.

 ----------Chords------------
 

 
 Hector Ormanos my favorite boxer
 Gm       F           Ebm     Adim  
 He goes smasho and Every one cheers
 Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb 
      
 Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F                        
 He turns big men to whimpering cowards
     Gm        F       Ebm        Adim 
 Hes so strong and how I adore him.
 Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb 
      
 Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F 
     
 Change to Ab 2/4:
 But Im so weak.
 Cm         Db                                         
 So much so that Im afraid to walk alone down my street
 Eb                                            Ab 
 I know Ill never be as brave as Hector Ormano!
 Cm/Eb Db 
   
 (Same Chords as before)
 Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
 His smile is so white like elephant ivory
 Hes so handsome and all of his girlfriends
 Are tall and blonde with hourglass curves
 
 (Same Chords As before)
 But I don't know many girls
 And I certainly dont know any girls like that
 Even if I did I wouldn't be as cool as Hector Ormano
 
 Change to Db 2/8(?):
 One summer day I was sitting on the bridge
 Db   Bbm      Ab       Gb Ab 
 Looking at the water below
 Ab7                   Db                      
 When I hear some laughter and a familiar voice
             Db     Ab  Bbm Ab Gb Ab 
 Coming from down the road.
 Ab7                       Db                      
 It was then that I saw and my heart nearly dropped
     Cm/Eb                       Gb   
 I saw Hector Ormano with some friends
        Cm/Eb                      Gb     
 And as they approached my mind went blank
     Ab            Gb            
 As I struggled to find the words
             Ab         
 I was dying to tell him
 Ab7 Db 
   
 Ooh
 Bbm Fm Gb Ab->7 Db
 
 As Hector walked by he picked up a stick
      Db       Ab    Bbm Ab Gb Ab 
 And threw it at my head
 Ab7                    Db                   
 His friends went quiet and Hector said to me
    Db         Ab     Bbm     Ab Gb Ab 
 What are you looking at wimp?
 Ab7                    Db      
 HHHHHEEEECCCTTTTTOOOORRRR!!!!!!
     Db         
 Back to Bb 4/4:
 Hector Ormanos my favorite boxer
 Gm       F                Ebm  Adim 
 Even thought he was mean to me.
 Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb 
      
 Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F                          
 My father thinks im a meaningless no one
    Gm        F             Ebm       Adim 
 Compared to the perfect Hector Ormano
 Bb Dm/A F7 Fm7 Bb 
      
 Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F 
     
 Hum 
  
 Bb Dm/Bm F7 Fm7 F 
      
 (Fin)
