    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    N.C. 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]

    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    N.C. D7
The big prairie moon is free
 
   C                        F
So who is a dumber son of a bench
    C        G       C    G
The little coyote or me?
C                        F
Who is a dumber son of a bench
    C        G       C    G
The little coyote or me?

[Verse]

        C
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     N.C. D7
By the old jasper saloon
 
    C                  
The cowboy got high on  
            F
a bottle of rye
    C      G            C      G
And we got drunk on the moon
    C                  
The cowboy got high on 
            F
a bottle of rye
    C      G            C    G
And we got drunk on the moon
