Bm
I am a bold undaunted fox
                              F#m
That never yet was trapped or caught
   Bm                          D              F#m
My rent, rates and taxes I was willin' for to pay
  D               A 
I made me name in fine good land
    Bm                     F#m
Between Tipperary and Knocklong
      D              A
Where my forefathers lived and died
      F#m             Bm
Three thousand years ago

Bm
I lived as happy as King Saul
                                F#m
And loved me neighbours one and all
Bm                   D                F#m
Had no animosity for either friend or foe
D             A 
Then I was of late betrayed
   Bm                   F#m
By one who was a fool I know
      D              A
He told me I should leave the place
     F#m            Bm
And show my face no more

Bm
The day that he evicted me
                                F#m
Its then I knew that I should flee
Bm                        D
Late one night I took his life
                   F#m
And left him lying low
D                   A 
He fell victim to a shot
    Bm                  F#m
His agency was soon forgot
     D                   A
From that day on they're searching
    F#m            Bm
