Nickel Creek – The Fox (Guitar)

G
The fox went out on a chilly night

                          D
He prayed for the moon to give him light

G                       C
For he'd many a mile to go that night

G         D           G       D       G
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o

C                   G              D                     G
He'd many a mile to go that night, before he reached the town-o

G
He ran 'til he came to the farmer's pen

                             D
The ducks and the geese were kept therein

G                                  C
He said, a couple of you are gonna grease my chin,

G        D          G       D       G
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o

C                              G              D                    G
Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin, before I leave this town-o

G
He grabbed the great goose by the neck

                    D
And he threw a duck across his back

G                      C
And he didn't mind the quack, quack

G                D        G       D       G
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o

C                     G                    D                 G
He didn't mind the quack, quack and the legs all dangling down-o

G
The old grey woman jumped out of bed

                      D
Out of the window she popped her head,

G                            C
Crying John, John, the great goose is gone

G              D      G       D       G
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o

C                     G                     D             G
John, John, the great goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o

G
He ran 'til he came to his nice warm den

                                D
And there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten

G                          C
Sayin Daddy, Daddy, better go back again

G                D          G       D       G
For it must be a might fine town-o, town-o, town-o

C             G                    D                   G
Daddy, Daddy, go back again for it must be mighty fine town-o

G
The fox and his wife, without any strife

                        D
Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife

G                     C
They never had such a supper in their life

G                   D             G        D        G
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o

C                     G
They never had such a supper in their life

        D                         G
And the little ones chewed on the bones
