             FOX ON THE RUN           The Country Gentlemen 

Capo on 2nd fret

CHORUS:

     G                 D            Am           C 
She walks through the corn leading down to the river 
         Am              D           C           G   
And her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun 
      G            D          Am              C 
She took all the love that a poor boy could give 'er 
         Am     D            C          G       
And left me to die like the fox on the run 
        C                                               G
Like a fox (like a fox, like a fox, like a fox) on the run 



    C      G               D           G  
Everybody knows-oes the reason for the fall 
       C            G             Am       D    
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall
       C           G       D            G
This woman tempted me-ee took me for a ride 
  C              G      D                   G  
Like the lonely fox-ox  I need a place to hide 

Go to chorus, lead


        G               D           Am         C
We'll pour a glass of wine-ine to fortify our soul 
             C                    D        C        G      
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know 
 G                  D        Am                     C
I see a string of girls-irls who'll put me on the floor 
     Am             D            C            G
The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door 

Go to chorus
