(D) I'd rather be a fox with the hunters on his trail

I'd rather be a lonesome pine way out on the ridge

All alone blowin' in the wind and (G) rain

I'd (D) rather be a homeless man

Sleepin' underneath a railroad bridge

Than to love a (C) woman who (A) only brings you (D) pain

With a gentle hand he tends the fertile (C) ground (A)

I offered you my (C) heart but you (A) turned me (D) down
