  			intro:  C   G   F 

      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 morning 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 the fox on the run.  

F                                                 C  G  F 
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.  


   A#       F         D#            A# 
Everybody knows the reason for the fall 
       D#          A#             D#       F 
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall 
      Gm           F                 D#            A# 
This woman tempted me all yes, then took me for a ride 
     D#            A#     F               G 
But like the weary fox I need a place to hide.  


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 morning sun.  
C            G           Dm             F 
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her  

And left me to die like the fox on the run.  

Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.  


C                 G            Dm           F  
Come take a glass of wine and fortify your soul.  
C                 G            Dm           FWe'll talk about the world and friends we used to know.  
C            G           Dm             F 
I'll illustrate, a girl who put me on the floor.  

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


C                 G            Dm           F 
I saw her walk through the corn leading down to the river 
C                 G            Dm           F 
her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun. 

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

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

You know

     D#m             G#         F#          C#

She took all the love that her poor boy could give her 
F7 
Left me to die  
F#                                               C# 
Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run
