Fox On The Run

Tom T. Hall


Tom: G

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

[Verse 1]
    C         G         D              G
Now everybody knows the reason for the fall
     C             G           A7       D
When woman tempted man down in paradise hall
     C             G           D              G
This woman tempted me then she took me for a  ride
     C            G            D                G
But, like a weary fox, boys I  need a  place to hide

[Chorus]
G                     D           Am          C
She walks through the corn leadin down to the river
    Am              D           C           G
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
G                 D             Am             C
She took all the love that this poor boy could give her
    Am         D          C          G
And left me to die like a fox on the run
        C                                 G
Like a fox, Like a fox, Like a fox on the run

[Verse 2]
      C                G             D           G
We’ll drink a glass of wine boys to fortify our souls
      C               G        A7                 D
We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know
  C                G             D              G
I see a string of girls who have put me on the floor
    C              G             D                G
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door

[Chorus]
G                     D           Am          C
She walks through the corn leadin down to the river
    Am              D           C           G
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
G                 D             Am             C
She took all the love that this poor boy could give her
    Am         D          C          G
And left me to die like a fox on the run
        C                                 G
Like a fox, Like a fox, Like a fox on the run
