Fox On The Run

by George Jones

G                     D7           Am          C

She walks through the corn leading down to the river

    Am              D7          C           G

Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun

                 D7          Am             C

She took all the love that a poor boy could give her

    Am         D7         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

C                  G         D7             G

Out here everybody knows the reason for the fall

     C             G          A7        D7

When woman tempted me down in paradise hall

     C             G           D7            G

This woman tempted me then she took me for a ride

    C             G           D7              G

But like a lonely fox  boys I need a place to hide

Repeat #1

C                      G            D7          G

We'll drink a glass of wine boys to fortify our souls

      C              G          A7                 D7

We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know

C                 G              D7            G

I see a string of girls who have put me on the floor

    C              G            D7               G

The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door

Repeat #1
