Nickel Creek – The Fox (Ukulele)

A
The fox went out on a chilly night

                          E
He prayed for the moon to give him light

A                       D
For he'd many a mile to go that night

A         E           A       E       A
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o

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

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

                             E
The ducks and the geese were kept therein

A                                  D
He said, a couple of you are gonna grease my chin,

A        E          A       E       A
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o

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

A
He grabbed the great goose by the neck

                    E
And he threw a duck across his back

A                      D
And he didn't mind the quack, quack

A                E        A       E       A
And the legs all dangling down-o, down-o, down-o

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

A
The old grey woman jumped out of bed

                      E
Out of the window she popped her head,

A                            D
Crying John, John, the great goose is gone

A              E      A       E       A
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o

D                     A                     E             A
John, John, the great goose is gone and the fox is on the town-o

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

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

A                          D
Sayin Daddy, Daddy, better go back again

A                E          A       E       A
For it must be a might fine town-o, town-o, town-o

D             A                    E                   A
Daddy, Daddy, go back again for it must be mighty fine town-o

A
The fox and his wife, without any strife

                        E
Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife

A                     D
They never had such a supper in their life

A                   E             A        E        A
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o

D                     A
They never had such a supper in their life

        E                         A
And the little ones chewed on the bones
