Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C G D G
C F G C G C
[Verse]
F G
A good many gentlemen take great delight
C G C
In hunting poor Reynard the Fox
F G
For the very best food he does eat in the night
C G C
And lives upon fat geese and ducks
[Verse]
F G
In Ashendon Copse I did lie
D G
And I lived an extraordinary rate
C F G
A-cracking the bones in young lambs' tails
C G C
The farmers they all did me hate
[Verse]
F G
Oh, for my lord's horses and hounds they did send
C G C
And the huntsmen, they swore I must die
F G
Which made all the hair on me coat stand on end
C G C
And caused me from me young ones to fly
[Verse]
F G
All down Stony Lane they did run me
D G
And I gave 'em a very good race
C F G
When I entered the woods, I did rest then
C G C
The hounds they run forward and bays
[Verse]
F G
All through the wild woods they gave chase and gave game
C G C
And the gameskeeper saw me go by
F G
He chased me out onto the wide-open plain
C G C
It was then that he fired at me thigh
[Verse]
F G
All on stony fields they did kill me
D G
And bloodthirsty dogs did me follow
C F G
They tore me old coat all in pieces
C G C
Which caused the glad huntsmen to hollow
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F G
Oh pardon, dear huntsmen, for I've spoiled your game
C G C
And the keeper has caused me to die
F G
But I leave little brothers of mine to remain
C G C
That love little else better than I
[Verse]
F G
And now that bold Reynard is dead
D G
We'll go to The Dolphin and dine
C F G
Now we'll dip his fore-foot in a bumper
C G
And drink up his health in good wine
[Outro]
