[Intro]
C   G   D G
C    F  G  C  G  C
[Verse]
A good many gentlemen Ftake great deGlight
In Chunting poor GReynard the CFox
For the very best food he does Feat in the Gnight
And Clives upon fat Ggeese and Cducks
[Verse]
In Ashendon FCopse I did Glie
And I lived an exDtraordinary Grate
A-Ccracking the bones in young Flambs' Gtails
The Cfarmers they Gall did me Chate
[Verse]
Oh, for my lord's horses and Fhounds they did Gsend
And the Chuntsmen, they Gswore I must Cdie
Which made all the hair on me Fcoat stand on Gend
And caused Cme from me Gyoung ones to Cfly
[Verse]
All down Stony FLane they did Grun me
And I gave 'em a Dvery good Grace
When I Centered the woods, I did Frest Gthen
The Chounds they run Gforward and Cbays
[Verse]
All through the wild woods they gave Fchase and gave Ggame
And the Cgameskeeper Gsaw me go Cby
He chased me out onto the Fwide-open Gplain
It was Cthen that he Gfired at me Cthigh
[Verse]
All on stony Ffields they did Gkill me
And bloodthirsty Ddogs did me Gfollow
They Ctore me old coat all in FpieGces
Which Ccaused the glad Ghuntsmen to Chollow
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Oh pardon, dear huntsmen, for FI've spoiled your Ggame
And the Ckeeper has Gcaused me to Cdie
But I leave little brothers of Fmine to reGmain
That love Clittle else Gbetter than CI
[Verse]
And now that bold FReynard is Gdead
We'll go to The DDolphin and Gdine
Now we'll Cdip his fore-foot in a FbumGper
And Cdrink up his Ghealth in good wine
[Outro]

[Verse]

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]

Oh pardon, dear huntsmen, for I've spoiled your game

That love little else better than I

[Verse]

And now that bold Reynard is dead

We'll go to The Dolphin and dine

Now we'll dip his fore-foot in a bumper

And drink up his health in good wine
