Standard (EADGBE)

Give a man a gun, give him a cigar

He'll think about a shot sitting at a bar

Strip him of his clothes, stand him in the light

Sweat upon his brow, frightened by the sight

Draw him like a bow, aim him at the world

He pretends to know and then he'll swim up to the rocks

 He'll be beaten by the fox

Give a man a drink, give a man the time

Drink into his thoughts bottled up inside

He'll tell a few jokes, stumble in the dark

Trips upon the stairs, he's fallen apart

Draw him like a bow, aim him at the world

He pretends to know and then he'll swim up to the rocks

 He'll be beaten by the fox

(instrumental w/guitar solo)

Beaten by the fox (repeat til fade)
