Raynard The Fox Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]On the[D] first day of spring
In the year [G]Ninety [D]Three
The chief recre[Bm]ation was in
[G]this coun[A]try
The King's county gen[D]tlemen o'er
[G]Whose dales and [D]rocks
They rode out so jovi[A]ally in
[D]Search of the fox

[Verse 2]
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark away, tally-ho,
[A]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark [A]away, me boys, [D]away

[Verse 3]
When [D]Reynard was started he
[G]faced [D]Tullamore
Then Arklow and [Bm]Wicklow
[G]along [A]the sea shore
We kept his brush in [D]view
Every [G]yard of [D]the way
And straight he steered a course
[A]Through [D]the streets of Rosscrea

[Verse 4]
[D]Tally-ho, hark away, tally-ho,
[A]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark [A]away, me boys, [D]away

[Verse 5]
But [D]Reynard, sly Reynard
Lay [G]hid there that [D]night
They swore they would [Bm]watch
[D]Him un[G]til the day[A]light
But early next [D]morning,
the [G]hills did re[D]sound
With the echo of [G]the horn
[A]And [D]sweet [A]cry of [D]hounds

[Verse 6]
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark away, tally-ho,
[A]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark [A]away, me boys, [D]away

[Verse 7]
When [D]Reynard was started
He [G]faced to the [D]hollow
Where none but [Bm]the hounds and
[G]The foot[A]men could follow
The gentlemen [D]cried "Watch him!"
[G]What shall we [D]do?
Well, if the rocks don't stop him
[A]He [D]will cross to [A]Killa[D]loe

[Verse 8]
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark away, tally-ho,
[A]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [D]hark hark [A]away,
me boys, [D]away
[A]

[Verse 9]
[D][E]
When Reynard was taken,
his [D]wishes [A]to ful[E]fill
He called for ink and paper and
[A]A pen to write his [B]will
And what he made a men[E]tion of
They [A]found it no [E]blank
For he gave them [A]a cheque
On the Na[E]tional Bank

[Verse 10]
Tally-ho, [E]hark hark away, tally-ho,
[B]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [E]hark hark [B]away, me boys, [E]away

[Verse 11]
To [E]you, Mr Casey, I [D]give my [A]whole es[E]tate
And you, young [A]O'Brien
My money and my [B]plate
I give to you, Sir [E]Frances, my [A]whips
Spurs and [E]caps
For you crossed walls and [A]ditches [B]and
You [E]ne'er looked for a gap

[Verse 12]
Tally-ho, [E]hark hark away, tally-ho,
[B]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [E]hark hark [B]away,
me boys, [E]away
Tally-ho, hark hark away, tally-ho,
[B]hark hark away
Tally-ho, [E]hark hark [B]away, me boys,
[E]away [A]tal[E]ly-ho!
tally-ho!
