It starts with "Fox On The Run" by Tom T. Hall:

[Intro]
G , D , Am , C , Am , D , C , G [x2]

[Chorus]
( G )                   D             Am          C
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
     Am              D          C            G
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
( G )               D          Am              C
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
    Am          D          C          G
And left me to die like a fox on the run
        C                        (Mute)    G
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

[Verse 1]
     C         G         D             G
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
   C             G          A7       D
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
      C            G           D            G
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
C              G            D               G
Like a lonely fox, boys, I need a place to hide

[Chorus]
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

[Instrumental]
G , D , Am , C , Am , D , C , G

[Verse 2]
Oh, we'll drink a glass of wine, boys, to purify our soul
We'll talk about the world and the friends we used to know
I see a string of girls who have put me on before
The game is nearly over and the hounds are at the door

[Chorus]
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

Then it leads in to "Bird On A Wire" by Leonard Cohen:

[Chorus]
       G          D
Like a bird on a wire
       G                    C
Like a drunk in a midnight choir 
       G            D
I have tried in my ways
       G C G D G
To be freeeeeeeee

Then it leads in to "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People:

[Chorus]
G             D             Am        C
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
       Am           D    C         G
Better run, better run, Outrun my gun
G             D             Am        C
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
       Am           D     C            G
Better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Then leads in to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock:

Hit it!
[Verse]
G                  D
I wanna rock right now
        Am                     C
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
        Am               D
I'm not internationally known
         C                     G
But I'm known to rock the microphone
( G )                              D
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
          Am                    C
Stay away from me if you're contagious
               Am                      D
'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser
         C              G
To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a
( G )                    D
Ladies love me, girls adore me
       Am                      C
I mean even the ones who never saw me
         Am                     D
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
           C                 G
The reason why, man, I don't know

[Chorus]
( G )      C    (mute)            G
It takes two to make a thing go right
( G )      C    (mute)           G     D G
It takes two to make it outta sight
