COYOTE SONG 

Em G Am Em

C G D Em C G B7 Em 

C G D Em C G B7 B7 B7 Em


There's a rattler on the trail

sneakin' up in the dirt

better grab your knife boys

or you're in a world of hurt

and there's a wolf in the meadow

preyin' on your sheep

that old pesky devil is

making it hard to sleep

But in the still of the night

the coyote sings her song

through all of the changes

the river flows on

and in times of endless trouble

and when all hope feels gone

don't forget to listen...

to the coyote song

there's a lizard in the house

and it's shedding all it's skin

it's talking through both sides of it's mouth

that's a chameleon

it's an old ancient devil

disquised as a friend

it will make all kinds of promises

and forget you in the end

But in the still of the night

the coyote sings her song

through all of the changes

the river flows on

and in times of endless trouble

and when all hope feels gone

don't forget to listen...

to the coyote song
