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

[Intro]
G5 , D5 , A5 , C5 , A5 , D5 , C5 , G5 [x2]

[Chorus]
( G5 )                   D5             A5          C5
She walks through the corn leadin' down to the river
     A5              D5          C5            G5
Her hair shone like gold in the hot mornin' sun
( G5 )               D5          A5              C5
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
    A5          D5          C5          G5
And left me to die like a fox on the run
        C5                        (Mute)    G5
Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

[Verse 1]
     C5         G5         D5             G5
Now everybody knows the reason for my fall
   C5             G5          A5       D5
A woman tempted me down in paradise hall
      C5            G5           D5            G5
This woman tempted me and she took me for a ride
C5              G5            D5               G5
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]
G5 , D5 , A5 , C5 , A5 , D5 , C5 , G5

[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]
       G5          D5
Like a bird on a wire
       G5                    C5
Like a drunk in a midnight choir 
       G5            D5
I have tried in my ways
       G5 C5 G5 D5 G5
To be freeeeeeeee

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

[Chorus]
G5             D5             A5        C5
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
       A5           D5    C5         G5
Better run, better run, Outrun my gun
G5             D5             A5        C5
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
       A5           D5     C5            G5
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]
G5                  D5
I wanna rock right now
        A5                     C5
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
        A5               D5
I'm not internationally known
         C5                     G5
But I'm known to rock the microphone
( G5 )                              D5
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
          A5                    C5
Stay away from me if you're contagious
               A5                      D5
'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser
         C5              G5
To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a
( G5 )                    D5
Ladies love me, girls adore me
       A5                      C5
I mean even the ones who never saw me
         A5                     D5
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
           C5                 G5
The reason why, man, I don't know

[Chorus]
( G5 )      C5    (mute)            G5
It takes two to make a thing go right
( G5 )      C5    (mute)           G5     D5 G5
It takes two to make it outta sight
