Fox On The Run

Barenaked Ladies

 GCadd9DAm7C
 She walks through the corn leading down to the river.
 Am7DCadd9G
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run.
 Cadd9G
 Like the fox (like the fox, like the fox) on the run.

 Cadd9GDG
 Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
 Cadd9GA7D
 This woman tempted me down in paradise hall. (That doesn't sound too bad.)
 Cadd9GDG
 This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
 Cadd9GDG
 Now I'm like a lonely fox cause I need a place to hide.

You know, she walks through the corn leading down to the river.
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
You know, she took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like the fox on the run. (boy)

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

We'll drink a glass of wine and fortify the soul.
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know. (great friends)
I've seen a string of girls who have put me on the floor.
The game is nearly over and my hounds are at my door.

You know, she walks through the corn leading down to the river.
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun.
You know, 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.

Here is where the video got a little shoddy, and I had to
tab some of it by ear...so from here on is just how
I like to play it. they may actually play a little
bit of D in the Cadd9/G stanzas.

 Cadd9D
 Like a bird (like a bird) on a wire
 Cadd9D
 Like a drunk in a midnight choir
 Cadd9D
 I'm tried (I'm tried) in my ways
 G
To be free

Hit it!

PLAY THE REST OF THE SONG AS YOU WOULD THE CHORUS.

I wanna rock right now
I'm a Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone

Because I get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm a man, no, I'm not the loser
To be an M.C. is what I chooser

Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know (I don't know) cause

It takes two (It takes two, It takes two) to make a thing go right
It takes two (It takes two, It takes two) to make it outta sight
