VERSES 1
*********
G+G
There's a fox on the hill
and he's standing still,
as if he's trying to hide.

G+G
My horse is going after him,
he thinks he'll easily catch him
but the Tod is sly.

Chorus
*******
B minorBm   E MajorE       G+G
  Lazy days and crazy ways,
      A minorAm     G+G
the sun is high and I'm feelin' fine.
(and so is ol' Dart)

-------------------------------------------
VERSES 2
*********
G+G
My horse is unconcerned
as he takes a tricky turn
on the heels of the fox.

G+G
But as we come around,
Mr. Tod is off the ground
smiling down from the rocks.

Chorus
*******
B minorBm    E MajorE       G+G
  Crazy days and lazy ways,
      A minorAm     G+G
the sun is nigh and I'm feelin' high.
A minorAm           D MajorD
  (it's only rock and roll)

B minorBm
Well, I'm an artful dodger
     E MajorE
said the fox,
           F# minorF#m
they never catch me, no
            B minorBm
I lead them all a merry dance

I see you're on a pleasure run,
    E MajorE
out to have a bit of fun...
F# minorF#m             B minorBm
perhaps you'd like a game of chance


  G+G        F# minorF#m
So may I propose a little game
   B minorBm        F# minorF#m
...if you'll agree.
 G+G         F# minorF#m
I wager you'll never catch me!

    Heavy Guitar = B minorBm
   *************
B minorBm
And in a flash,

the fox flipped his tail,
  F# minorF#m
my horse took the bit,
B minorBm
and the chase was on...
