The Fox (Acoustic Version) Chords
By Sleater-Kinney
This song's chords match up to the album best when tuned up a half-step up.
NOTE: This song was tabbed using a Baritone ukulele which is the first 4 strings of a guitar, EBGD, tuned up
to FCG#D#. Much of the tabbing was complicated by Carrie's tab work so I could be a bit wrong as a result.
Also, I didn't include fills to focus on chords. Lyrics taken off album digital booklet.
Also,on their way to Bb, they land first on A. As a result, I added an A to the first chorus (which is
really just an instrumental chord series. You may continue to do this through out.)
(My strumming pattern for said chorus gives G 3 eight-notes to G and while F and Bb each have 3 sighth-notes
followed by one quarter-note or four eighth-notes and an eighth-rest. The second time through, Bb gets one
eight-note and a half note usually.)
