      [Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D                      G                  Em
Coyote's a survivor, I reckon he's got to be.
  D                                 G              A
He lives in the snow at 40 below or Malibu by the sea.
    D                                       G             Em
An' I'm just an old cow puncher, I love to listen to his tune.
      D                         G       D
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon
      D       A        D         G       D           A            D
Cause I get high on a bottle of rye an' Coyote gets drunk on the moon.

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

[Verse 2]
         D                                G              Em
Well the cowboy is a conundrum, a contradiction in this age,
         D                                               G                A
Well he says he's doin' fine on the poverty line with a workin' cowboy's wage.
    D                                 G                   Em
The whiskey bottle cost 13 bucks, the big prairie moon is free.
   D          A      D        G          D         A      D
So who is the dumber son of a b____? The little coyote or me?
     D          A      D        G          D         A      D
Yeh, who is the dumber son of a b____? The little coyote or me?

[Verse 3]
        D                                 G              Em
So with thoughts of re-incarnation well I drifted off to dream.
  D                                         G                   A
I made it for life with a coyote wife and a bushy-tailed coyote queen.
D                              G                 Em
Way down in the valley, at the old long noose saloon,
    D                              G    D      A            D
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.
    D                              G    D      A            D
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye, we got drunk on the moon.

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