Intro
Am F G C
F Dm E Am

Verse 1
In KAmillywood Cross, There Lived A FFox Of A Man
Who Had The WhGole World Eating From The PEalm Of His Hand
He Was DFashing And Charming, Deadly QuDmick With A Lie
He EAlways Got His Way Without A Hint Of A Try

He Was PAmompous And Proud And He Was LFoved By The Crowd
But GEven For The Cunning, Luck Will EAlways Run Out
And For HFim, It Did, For At The DmEnd Of One Day
None EOther Than A Banshee Came A-Knocking To Say...

“FAmergal Mckee, You Haven’t LFived Very Long
But ThGese Things Happen Sometimes To Both The SEaint And The Con-”
“Whoa, WFait Just A Moment”, Foxy FDmergal Replied
“I’m ThrEiving, This Cannot Be The Day That I Die”

Pre-Chorus 1
AmShe Said “Your Karma’s FOverdue"
G"The Dullahan, He WCaits For You”
FThen Fergal Brushed Her HDmair Aside
And WhEispered To Her

Chorus
Am"Does It Ever Get Old, Creepin’ Out In The Cold"
"Cryin’ Out In The Dark?"G  Am​
Am"Does It Ever Get Old, Being Out On The Road?"
"Does It Ever Get Hard?"G  Am​
Am"You Could Call It A Night"F​
"We Could Dance ‘Til It’s Light"G​
"I’ll Let You Blame It On MeEm"
F"This Once, This DmOnce, Could You Let It SlEide?"
"You Could Let It Slide This Once" Am​

Verse 2
The BAmanshee Said Nothing, Not A WFord, Not A Sound
Just StGayed In The Doorway With Her FEeet Off The Ground
To FFergal, The Silence Was Like A HDmole In The Floor
So He DEid What He Does, He Kept Talking Some More

Well, You KnAmow What They Say With Dire FForces At Play
A FGox In A Snare Is Gonna ChEew His Leg Away
And By LFeg, I Mean Neighbors Fergal HDmad All The Names
Of EEvery Sullied Sinner From Here To The Bay

"Now There's PAmaddy The Publican, Who WFaters The Stout"
"Father FGlynn's Got A Family The Parish DEon't Know About"
"There's MFagistrate Boyle, Takes Your CDmoin And Your Cow"
"And SEeamus Mccabe Owes Me Money Right Now"

Pre-Chorus 2
AmShe Said “Your Karma’s FOverdue"
G"The Dullahan, He WCaits For You”
FBut Foxy Tried To SDmtay Alive
And WhEispered To Her

Chorus
Am"Does It Ever Get Old, Creepin’ Out In The Cold"
"Cryin’ Out In The Dark?"G  Am​
Am"Does It Ever Get Old, Being Out On The Road?"
"Does It Ever Get Hard?"G  Am​
Am"You Could Call It A Night"F​
"We Could Dance ‘Til It’s Light"G​
"I’ll Let You Blame It On MeEm"
F"This Once, This DmOnce, Could You Let It SlEide?"
"You Could Let It Slide This Once" Am​

Verse 3
She LAmooked In His Eyes And Then SFaid, With A Smile,
“The NGight Is Still Young, Perhaps I EMight Stay A While”
“MFaybe I’ll Dance, MDmaybe I’ll Drink”
And FEergal Thought Maybe He’d Sneak Out When She Blinked

So He PAmoured Her A Glass Of His ChFeapest Champagne
And WhGile She Was Dancing, He Slipped OEut In The Rain
He RFan To The Road And He LDmooked For A Ride
And He LEeapt In A Coach That Was Idling By

“AmFly You Fool!”, Cried The DFesperate Fox
And With The CrGack Of The Whip, The CEarriage Took Off
Like A BFat Out Of Hell, He Was MDmaking His Break
Too BlEind To Notice He'd Made A Fatal Mistake

The CAmoach Left The Ground And It ClFimbed To The Sky
A HGorrified Fergal Hanging EOn For Dear Life
He LFeaned Out The Window As The DmSky Caught On Fire
And A EBolt Of Lightning Showed There Was No Head On The Driver

Pre-Chorus 3
AmIt Always Catches FUp To You
GAnd Fergal Is The CDying Proof
FThe Banshee Raised A GlDmass And Whispered
EIn To The Night

Chorus
Am"No, It Never Gets Old, Creepin’ Out In The Cold".
"Cryin’ Out In The Dark" G  Am​
Am"No, It Never Gets Old, Being Out On The Road"
"No, It Never Gets Hard" G  Am​
Am"Time To Call It A NighFt"
"You Really Put Up A FighGt"
"I’ll Let You Blame It On MeEm"
F"It’s Not My CDmall"
"I Couldn’t Let It SlEide"
"I Couldn’t Let It SlEide This Once"
