    D
The coyote's a survivor

Reckon he's got to be

He lives in the snow at forty below

      G             A7
Or in Malibu by the sea

D
I'm just an old cowpuncher

          G      G/F#   E
I love to listen to his tune

   D                         G
As I get high on a bottle of rye

    D
The coyote gets drunk on the moon

As I get high on a bottle of rye

    D
The coyote gets drunk on the moon
[Verse 2]
    D
The cowboy's a conundrum

        G       G/F#    E
A contradiction in this age

   D
He says he's doing fine on the poverty line

       G                A7
With a workin' cowboy's wage

    D
The whiskey bottle costs thirty-two bucks

    G           G/F#    E    N.C. E7
The big prairie moon is free

   D                        G
So who is a dumber son of a bitch

    D
The little coyote or me?

D                        G
Who is a dumber son of a bitch

    D
The little coyote or me?
