Singin' (do wah diddy, diddy dum, diddy do)

We walked on (walked on)

To my door (to my door)

Fox on the Run
Tom: C

     C                  G           Dm           F
She walked through the corn leading down to the river,
     Dm               G           F           C
her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun.
     C            G          Dm              F
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her,
    Dm          G          F          C
and left me to die like a fox on the run,
        Dm          F           Dm          C - G - d - C
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run.
    Dm         C         F             C
1. Everybody knows the reason for the fall,
          F             C         Dm        G
    when woman tempted me down in paradise hall.
         Dm             C              F             C
    This woman tempted me,  then she took me by surprise,
         Dm             C      Dm              G
    and like a lonely fox, I need a place to hide.

1. On our floor all of our guys call her flamingo,

    crimson dress that clings so tight,
           F       G        C
    she`s out of reach and out of sight.
                F        G                C
When she walks by, she stirs up all the neighbourhood,
           F         G
oh, every guy would make her his,
    C                 G
if he just could, if she just would.

2. Some sweet day I`ll make her mine, pretty flamingo.
          F    G        C               F   G        C
    And every guy will envy me, `cause paradise is where I`ll be.

Shelter From The Storm

D                          G                D
Twas in another life time  one of tail an blood
                               G                     A
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
   D                          G                    D 
I came in from the wilderness a creature void from form

                           G                     A
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
D                     G                        D
Try imaginig a place where is always safed and warm
 
 
“Come in” she said i´ll give you

D                              G                         D
The deputy walks on hard nails  and the preacher rides a mount
                                        G                   A
But nothing really matters very much it´s doom alone that counts
      D                      G                   D
And the one eye undertaker   he blows the futile horn
 
“Come in” she said  i´ll give you

shelter from the storm
 
D                           G               D

that you've lost your chance
    Am                                           E
In a trance, watch her dance to the beat of the drums
    Am                              E             Am   
Faster now, sweating brow, I'm all the fingers and thumbs
    Am                                         E
Wonder why I hit the sky  when she blows me a kiss
    Am                        E          Am  
In a while run a mile I'm regretting all this
 
Chorus:  Ha, Ha said the clown.....
 
    Am                                                E  
Take your coat, close the show, wish the people good-bye
    Am                              E           Am
Grab my coat, grab my hat, look that girl in the eye
    Am                                               E
Where's your home, What's your phone stop fooling around
    Am                           E             Am   
Could have died she replied "I'm a wife of the clown"
