The Fox Acoustic Version Chords
By Sleater-Kinney

This song's chords match up to the album best when tuned up a half-step up.

NOTE: This song was tabbed using a Baritone ukulele which is the first 4 strings of a guitar, EBGD, tuned up to FCG#D#. Much of the tabbing was complicated by Carrie's tab work so I could be a bit wrong as a result. Also, I didn't include fills to focus on chords. Lyrics taken off album digital booklet.

On the day the duck was born
  G+G    FF    G+G  Bb majorBb
The fox was watching all along
    G+G  Bb majorBb G+G      FF
He said, "Land Ho!" when he saw the duck
G+G Bb majorBb G+G     FF
 "Land Ho!" and the duck saw him too

G+G FF G+G Bb majorBb X2

Shiny pretty fox thought the duck

G+G       FF  G+G   Bb majorBb
The duck came up onto the land
   G+G    FF    G+G    Bb majorBb   Bb majorBb
The fox was watching, he just laughed

G+G FF G+G Bb majorBb X2

G+G    FF       G+G   Bb majorBb
"I could show you some shiny tricks," he said
G+G   FF     G+G    Bb majorBb
"Come along we'll get our kicks," he said
G+G Bb majorBb G+G    FF
 "Land Ho! for shiny tricks
G+G Bb majorBb G+G    FF
 Land Ho! for me."

G+G FF G+G Bb majorBb X2

G+G  Bb majorBb  G+G    FF
Oh, Fox! Is this love?

Can you tell me? What is lo-ve?

G+G FF G+G Bb majorBb X2

G+G             FF
That good looking fox only knew one trick
G+G             Bb majorBb
He could break hearts just lickety-split
G+G            FF
The duck knew this game she had to quit
  G+G          Bb majorBb       FF
And her own pond she was headed to quick

G+G    G+G F#F# FF
I'll go

I'll go
      G+G     G+G
And there's no looking back

G+G  FF  G+G   Bb majorBb
Goodbye little fox
G+G  FF  G+G  DdimDdim D MajorD
Goodbye my fox
