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
For farmer Michael Hayes
