The Fox Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A][A]
The [A]Fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to give him light
For he'd many a mile to go that night
Be[A]fore he reached
the town-o, town-o, town-o
He'd many a mile to go that night
before he reached the town-o

[Verse 2]
He [A]ran till he came to the farmer's pen
The ducks and the geese were kept therein
He said "a couple of you are
[D]gonna grease my chin,
Be[A]fore I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o"
A couple of you are gonna grease my chin,

[Interlude 1]
before i leave this town-o

[Verse 3]
He [A]grabbed the great goose by the neck
He threw a duck a[E]cross his back
And he [A]didn't mind the [D]quack quack
And the [A]legs all [E]dangling
[A]down-o, [E]down-o, [A]down-o
[D]He didn't mind the [A]quack quack
And the [E]legs all dangling [A]down-o

[Verse 4]
Well the o[A]ld grey woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she [E]popped her head,
Crying [A]John, John, the great [D]goose is gone
The [A]fox is [E]on the [A]town-o, [E]town-o, [A]town-o
[D]John, John, the great [A]goose is gone
and the [E]fox is on the [A]town-o

[Verse 5]
He [A]ran till he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten
Sayin' Daddy, Daddy, better go back again
It must be a mighty fine
[A]town-o, town-o, town-o
Daddy, Daddy, go back again
for it must be a mighty fine town-o

[Verse 6]
The [A]fox and his wife, without any strife
They cut up the goose [E]with a fork and a knife
And [A]they never had [D]such a supper in their life
And the [A]little [E]ones chewed
[A]on the bones-o, [E]bones-o, [A]bones-o
[D]They never had [A]such a supper in their life
And the [E]little ones chewed on the [A]bones
