INTRO:  strum C

C                G                       Am       
Fox in the snow, where do you go to find something you could eat? 

                          Fmaj7                 G
Cause the word out on the street is that you're starving.

                      C          E                        Am
Don't let yourself go hungry now. Don't let yourself grow cold.

           Fmaj7   C    Fmaj7    C
Fox in the Snow.




C                 G                       Fmaj7            Am
Girl in the snow, where do you go to find someone who will do?

                        Fmaj7           G
To tell someone all the truth before it kills you.
 
                    C          E*                  Am*
They listen to your crazy laugh, before you hang a right 

         Fmaj7           C           Fmaj7
And disappear from sight. 

                  C
What do they know anyway? 

                    Fmaj7
You'll read it in a book. 

                  C
What do they know anyway?

                    Em             D
You'll read it in a book tonight.


Fmaj7   x 4


C                G                        Am
Boy on the bike, what are you like as you cycle round the town?

             Fmaj7                             G
You're going up you're going down you're going nowhere.

                       C         E*                    Am*
It's not as if they're paying you. It's not as if it's fun.

             Fmaj7    C    Fmaj7
At least not anymore. 

                   C
When your legs are black and blue.

                    Fmaj7
It's time to take a break.

                   C 
When your legs are black and blue.

                    Solo
It's time to take a holiday



Fmaj7    C   x4   



C                G                 Am      
Kid in the snow, way to go it only happens once a year.

        Fmaj7                             G
It only happens once a lifetime, make the most of it.

               C         E*                 Am*
Second just to being born. Second to dying too.
 
          Fmaj7         C        
What else would you do?

          Fmaj7         C
What else would you do?

          Fmaj7         C
What else would you do?

          Fmaj7         C
What else would you do?

           Fmaj7                    C
Fox in the snow (When your legs are black and blue)

           Fmaj7                        C
Fox in the snow (It's not as if they're paying you)

           Fmaj7                    C
Fox in the snow (When your legs are black and blue)

           Fmaj7                        C
Fox in the snow (It's not as if they're paying you)

           Fmaj7      C
Fox in the Snow    

           Fmaj7      C
Fox in the Snow    


Continue cycling Fmaj7 and C 4x 
(this is when its more fun to throw in the e string change ups on the Fmaj7 chord
 to mimic the string's melody)
