Barenaked Ladies – Fox On The Run chords
Chords:
This is a medley BNL have been playing live for years. It used to be played acoustically around one microphone, and was led in by the song "Crazy". Recently, BNL have been playing it full-band and removed "Crazy" to make it a song on its own. They also added the chorus of "Pumped Up Kicks" in there.
