Eb
     No regrets Coyote

F/G                                                 Cadd9
    We just come from such different sets of circum stance

                        Cadd9
I'm up all night in the studios

               G
And you're up    early on your ranch

F
   You'll be brushing out a broodmare's tail
While the sun is ascending
                 Cadd9                              Eb
And I'll just be       getting home with my reel-to-reel
There's no comprehending
F/G                                                 Cadd9
    Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
G
  And still feel so alone

F
   And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
             Cadd9
You're not a       hit and run driver no no

Eb
    Racing away

F6/G
     You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the

[Verse 2]
Eb
     We saw a farmhouse burning down

F/G
     In the middle of nowhere
In the middle of the night
       Cadd9
And we rolled right past that tragedy

G
  Till we turned into some road house lights

F
  Where a local band was playing

                                          Cadd9
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
And the next thing I know
Eb
   That coyote's at my door

F/G
    He pins me in a corner and he won't take no

Cadd9
      He drags me out on the dance floor

           G
And we're    dancing close and slow

               F
Now he's got a woman at home
He's got another woman down the hall
                           Cadd9
He seems to want me anyway

                      F/G
Why'd you have to get so drunk

Eb
     And lead me on that way

F6/G
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the

[Verse 3]
Eb
    I looked a coyote right in the face

F/G                                           Cadd9
    On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
He went running thru the whisker wheat
G
   Chasing some prize down

F
  And a hawk was playing with him

                                                Cadd9
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes

                  F/G
He had those same eyes just like yours

Eb
   Under your dark glasses

F6/G                                    Cadd9
     Privately probing the public rooms
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
G
  Where the players lick their wounds

               F
And take their temporary lovers

                                                  Cadd9         F/G
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play

                      Eb
   No regrets Coyote
I just get off up aways
F6/G
You just picked up a hitcher

[Verse 4]
Eb
   Coyote's in the coffee shop

F/G                                           Cadd9
    He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
He picks up my scent on his fingers
           G
While he's   watching the waitresses' legs

      F
He's  too far from the Bay of Fundy

                                    Cadd9   F/G
From appaloosas and eagles and tides

                                Eb
And the air conditioned cubicles
And the carbon ribbon rides
F/G
   Are spelling it out so clear

                     C                 G
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
Or take off out of here
F
  I tried to run away myself

                                Cadd9  F/G
To run away and wrestle with my ego

Eb
    And with this flame

F6/G
     You put here in this Eskimo
In this hitcher In this prisoner Of the fine white lines
                          Cadd9          F/G
Of the white lines on the free, free way
