Verse 1:
  D MajorD        A augmentedA        E MajorE         A augmentedA   D MajorD
My name it is Bold Reynolds, I was born near Bonfire Hill
       A augmentedA       B minorBm     E MajorE
That was many years ago, but I remember still
  D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD         E MajorE
My brothers and my sisters, as we played near the den
   D MajorD        A augmentedA         E MajorE       A augmentedA   E MajorE A augmentedA
With ne'er a care in all the world, my life was easy then


Verse 2:
   D MajorD       A augmentedA         E MajorE          A augmentedA    D MajorD
When I was scarcely nine months old, I first met with the hounds
           A augmentedA          B minorBm      E MajorE
I heard their voices through the wood as I came above ground
 D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD        E MajorE
I found it very easy to lose them in my wake
 D MajorD       A augmentedA         E MajorE        A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I wandered many miles that day, it was to prove my fate

Verse 3:
   D MajorD       A augmentedA     E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD
While I was on that journey, I met her in a copse
          A augmentedA        B minorBm            E MajorE
She had a handsome, thick red coat, straight'way my heart was lost
  D MajorD         A augmentedA      D MajorD       E MajorE
We spent that year together, had seven cubs all told
 D MajorD          A augmentedA      E MajorE        A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I thank the hounds for sending me upon that distant road


Verse 4:
  D MajorD       A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA   D MajorD
My mate and I we stayed together many seasons more
         A augmentedA       B minorBm      E MajorE
Pheasants in the wintertime, we always had in store
  D MajorD         A augmentedA        D MajorD        E MajorE
And in the springtime I worked hard to feed the newborn young
D MajorD          A augmentedA           E MajorE       A augmentedA  E MajorE A augmentedA
Hunting through the short, chill nights until the rising sun


Verse 5:
  D MajorD        A augmentedA       E MajorE       A augmentedA
And many times when I was stalking rabbits on my own
 D MajorD         A augmentedA         B minorBm          E MajorE
I heard the distant hunting horn that called the stragglers home
  D MajorD           A augmentedA       D MajorD        E MajorE
At times the hounds would follow me, but I would have my fun
 D MajorD          A augmentedA      E MajorE        A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Across the fields and meadows, I'd give them a good run


Verse 6:
  D MajorD           A augmentedA        E MajorE     A augmentedA
The years have passed, my vixen died, and I am on my own
  D MajorD         A augmentedA         B minorBm       E MajorE
My legs are tired, my coat is rough and all my seed is sown
 D MajorD       A augmentedA        D MajorD           E MajorE
I do not wish a lingering death, I'll meet the hounds again
  D MajorD       A augmentedA         E MajorE           A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And take them on a final chase, once more they'll serve my end


Verse 7:
  D MajorD        A augmentedA        E MajorE         A augmentedA   D MajorD
My name it is Bold Reynolds, I was born near Bonfire Hill
       A augmentedA       B minorBm     E MajorE
That was many years ago, but I remember still
  D MajorD      A augmentedA       D MajorD           E MajorE
My vixen and my young cubs, as we played here in the den
  D MajorD       A augmentedA        E MajorE       A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
But now I bid you all farewell, my life is at an end
