Chords and Lyrics:

G D Am C
She walks through the corn leading down to the river
Am D C G
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
G D Am C
She took all the love that a 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


C G D G
Out here everybody knows the reason for the fall
C G A7 D
When woman tempted me 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 lonely fox, boys I need a place to hide


(repeat chorus)


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 my door

(repeat chorus)
