      [Intro]
D

[Verse]
D                    G
Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
D                    G
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
D                     G
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
D                        G
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.
(try 'er gang)

[Verse]
D                           G
Well the cowboy is a conundrum, a contradiction in this age,
D                         G
Well he says he's doin' fine on the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage.
D                        G
The whiskey bottle cost 13 bucks, the big prairie moon is free.
D                    G
So who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me?
D                    G
Yeh, who is the dumber son of a bitch? The little coyote or me? (take it)

[Verse]
D                        G
So with thoughts of re-incarnation well I drifted off to dream.
D                        G
I made it for life with a coyote wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen.
D                        G
Way down in the valley, at the old long noose saloon,
D                        G
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
D                        G
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
D                        G
Everybody Take it home
