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.

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

G F G Bb X2

Shiny pretty fox thought the duck

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

G F G Bb X2

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

G F G Bb X2

G   Bb   G       F
Oh, Fox! Is this love?
G       F       G       (Fm) F
Can you tell me? What is lo-ve?

G F G Bb X2

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

G       G F# F
I'll go

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

G   F   G      Bb
Goodbye little fox
G   F   G   Ddim D
Goodbye my fox

G F G Bb
