Guy Clark – El Coyote (Guitar)

       C          G                C         F
In the town of Reynosa, there's a beautiful river

      C            G        C
That shines in the Mexican sun

          C               G              C          F
There are boats and they cross from one side to the other

    C            G           C
At dusk when the hot day is done

     C          G      C        F
From there to Acuna to Del Rio, Texas

 C         G            C
Uvalde up through San Antone

         C           G           C               F
With the pesos I've saved up for years then I'll trade

         C             G            C    C7
For the chance to send dollars back home

F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?

G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?

    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die

       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun

  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?

C                   G             C             F
He steps out of the shadows, he won't look in my eyes

     C            G            C
His hand's out to take all I've got

C                 G                C          F
He says that he's smuggled a thousand good men

      C            G              C
And he says that he's never been caught

C                 G         C          F
So with seventeen other, braceros like cattle

      C            G           C
Packed in for that long final ride

C                 G             C          F
In the semi-truck crossing the border it's dark

      C            G       C         C7
And it's hot as an oven inside

F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?

G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?

    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die

       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun

  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?

C           G              C          F
The braceros are asking in whispers

      C                       G           C
Why the truck stopped in the heat of the day?

C                 G                C          F
At first sign of trouble, he's left us all there

      C               G       C       C7
By the road and he's walking away

F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?

G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?

    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die

       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun

  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?
