[Verse 1]
D
The coyote's a survivor
G G/F# E
Reckon he's got to be
D
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
D G
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?

So with thoughts of reincarnation

Well, I drifted off to dream

Made it for a life with a coyote wife

A bushy-tailed coyote queen
D
Way down in the valley
G G/F# E
By the old jasper saloon
 
D G
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye
D
And we got drunk on the moon
G
The cowboy got high on a bottle of rye
D
And we got drunk on the moon

As I get high on a bottle of rye
