VERSES 1
*********
G
There's a fox on the hill
and he's standing still,
as if he's trying to hide.
G
My horse is going after him,
he thinks he'll easily catch him
but the Tod is sly.
Chorus
*******
Bm E G
Lazy days and crazy ways,
Am G
the sun is high and I'm feelin' fine.
(and so is ol' Dart)
-------------------------------------------
VERSES 2
*********
G
My horse is unconcerned
as he takes a tricky turn
on the heels of the fox.
G
But as we come around,
Mr. Tod is off the ground
smiling down from the rocks.
Chorus
*******
Bm E G
Crazy days and lazy ways,
Am G
the sun is nigh and I'm feelin' high.
Am D
(it's only rock and roll)

Bm
Well, I'm an artful dodger
E
said the fox,
F#m
they never catch me, no
Bm
I lead them all a merry dance
I see you're on a pleasure run,
E
out to have a bit of fun...
F#m Bm
perhaps you'd like a game of chance
G F#m
So may I propose a little game
Bm F#m
...if you'll agree.
G F#m
I wager you'll never catch me!
Heavy Guitar = Bm
*************
Bm
And in a flash,
the fox flipped his tail,
F#m
my horse took the bit,
Bm
and the chase was on...
