[Verse 1]
C
The coyote’s a survivor
F F/E D7
Reckon he’s got to be
C
He lives in the snow at forty below
F G7
Or in Malibu by the sea
C
I’m just an old cowpuncher
F F/E D D7
I love to listen to his tune

C F
As I get high on a bottle of rye
C G C G
The coyote gets drunk on the moon
C F
As I get high on a bottle of rye
C G C G
The coyote gets drunk on the moon

[Verse 2]
C
The cowboy’s a conundrum
F F/E D7
A contradiction in this age
C
He says he’s doing fine on the poverty line
F G7
With a workin’ cowboy’s wage
C
The whiskey bottle costs thirty-two bucks
F F/E D D7
The big prairie moon is free

C F
So who is a dumber son of a bitch
C G C G
The little coyote or me?
C F
Who is a dumber son of a bitch
C G C G
The little coyote or me?

So with thoughts of reincarnation
F D7
Well, I drifted off to dream
C
Made it for a life with a coyote wife
F G G7
A bushy-tailed coyote queen
C
Way down in the valley
F F/E D D7
By the old jasper saloon

C F
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye
C G C G
And we got drunk on the moon

The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye

And we got drunk on the moon
