Pete Seeger – The Fox (Guitar)

    F
The fox went out to the chase one night

                                 C
Prayed to the moon to give him light

        F             Bb
He had many a mile to go that night

  F         C          F       C      F
Before he reached the town-o, town-o town-o

 Bb            F               C                    F
Many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-o

    F
He ran 'til he came to a great big pen

                                    C
Where the ducks and the geese were kept there in

         F                        Bb
Said a couple of you are gonna grease my chin

  F        C         F       C       F
Before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o

 Bb                       F              C                  F
Couple of you are gonna grease my chin before I leave this town-o

     F
He grabbed the grey goose by the neck

                         C
He slung the little one over his back

     F                     Bb
He didn't amind with the quack, quack quack

          F        C        F       C       F
And the legs all dang-ling down-o, down-o, down-o

  Bb                   F
Didn't amind with the quack, quack quack

          C                 F
And the legs all dang-ling down-o

 F
Old mother Pitter Patter jumped out of bed

                        C
Out of the window she cocked her head

        Bb                  F
Cryin' John, John the grey goose is gone

         C             F       C       F
And the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o

 Bb                  F
John, John the grey goose is gone

         C             F
And the fox is on the town-o

    F
He ran 'til he came to his cozy den

                             C
There were the little ones, eight, nine, ten

            F              Bb
They said Daddy better go back again

           F          C          F       C       F
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o

           Bb              F
They said Daddy better go back again

           C                     F
'Cause it must be a mighty fine town-o

           F
Well, the fox and his wife without any strife

                                   C
Cut up the goose with a fork and knife

      F                Bb
They never had such a supper in their life

          F           C             F       C        F
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o

 Bb                F
Never had such a supper in their life

          C                        F
And the little ones chewed on the bones-o
