Fox on the run    (intro)    (sample)

 

          C                            G                 Dm              F

She walked through the corn leading down to the river,

       Dm                    G              F                C

her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun.

         C               G              Dm                    F

She took all the love that a poor boy could give her,

       Dm           G            F               C

and left me to die like a fox on the run,

           Dm           F             Dm            C - G -Dm - C

Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run.

 

     Dm               C             F                   C

1. Everybody knows the reason for the fall,

                F                       C                Dm          G

    when woman tempted me down in paradise hall.

             Dm                     C                     F                      C

    This woman tempted me,  then she took me by surprise,

           Dm               C      Dm                    G

    and like a lonely fox, I need a place to hide. 

 

+ CHORUS

 

             Dm                    C           F              C

2. We'll drink a glass of wine, to fortify our souls,

             F                      C            Dm                           G

    we'll talk about the world and friends we used to know.

      Dm                   C                       F                     C

    I see a string of girls, who have put me on the floor,

           Dm                  C                 Dm                         G

    the game is nearly up,  and the hounds are at my door.

 

+ CHORUS                     (Manfred Mann)
