The Fox
Standard Tuning (No Capo)
AThe fox went out on a chilly night
He prayed for the moon to Egive him light
AFor head many a mile to Dgo that night
ABefore he Ereached the Atown-o, Etown-o, Atown-o
DHead many a mile to Ago that night, Ebefore he reached theA town-o
AHe ran til he came to the farmers pen
The ducks and the geese were Ekept therein
AHe said, a couple of you are gonna gDrease my chin,
ABefore I Eleave this Atown-o, Etown-o, Atown-o
DSaid a couple of you are gonna Agrease my chin,E before I leave this Atown-o
AHe grabbed the great goose by the neck
And he threw a duck Eacross his back
AAnd he didn't mind the Dquack, quack
AAnd the legs all Edangling Adown-o, Edown-o, Adown-o
DHe didn't mind the quaAck, quack and the legEs all dangling dowAn-o
AThe old grey woman jumped out of bed
Out of the window she Epopped her head,
ACrying John, John, the great Dgoose is gone
AAnd the fox is Eon the Atown-o, Etown-o, Atown-o
DJohn, John, the great Agoose is gone and the Efox is on the Atown-o
AHe ran til he came to his nice warm den
And there were the little ones, Eeight, nine, ten
ASayin Daddy, Daddy, better Dgo back again
AFor it must be a Emight fine Atown-o, Etown-o, Atown-o
DDaddy, Daddy, Ago back again for it Emust be mighty fine Atown-o
AThe fox and his wife, without any strife
Cut up the goose with a Efork and a knife
AThey never had such a Dsupper in their life
AAnd the little ones Echewed on the Abones-o, Ebones-o, Abones-o
DThey never had such a Asupper in their life
And the Elittle ones chewed on the Abones
