Loving you is easy
D      D/F#     Bm  
I can do it in my sleep
A      A/Ab     F#m 
I dream of you so often
               E          
It's like you never leave
A     A/Ab           F#m  
But you're down below the border

With a nightmare in between

So I'm sending the coyote

To bring you back to me

Verse
Where there's a fancy hotel waiting
In south San Gabriel
Where the movie madams sunbathe
The playboys para-sail
And I know you think I'm crazy
But most people they can tell
And I'll meet you there tomorrow
If I can have you to myself

A Ab G 

Bridge:
F#m           
So at the time I tried to occupy
                  E
Since you've been away
F#m                          
It's hard to transfer stars to calling cards
                 E     E7
I can't see your poker face
      D            E            A
While your voice is sounding so brave

A A/Ab F#m D D/F# Bm

Verse
Our Lady Guadalupe
In plaster on the wall
Joseph Smith saw Jesus in America
Well I don't know much about it
It doesn't matter much at all
If you'll keep your head down lady
As you travel through the dark

Verse
And if I should seem distracted
By the color of the sky
As a copper wire sunset plays a lullaby
It's just to know they've stolen
Another day from you and I
It gets my feeling low down
When the moon is fulling high

Bridge
Been fake we're out to take
A place that's safe that you might wait a day
A lonesome broken dawn that finally comes 
Just as I was losing faith
You keep every promise you make

A A/Ab F#m D D/F# Bm

Verse
Loving you is easy
I can do it in my sleep
I dream of you so often
It's like you never leave
But you're gone below the border
With a nightmare in between
So I'm sending the coyote
To bring you back to me

Ending
A       A/Ab        F#m
Yes I'm sending the coyote
   D         E        A       
To bring you back to me
