Intro: D A G x2

            D        A              G
There was a cowboy I knew in south Texas
    D               A           G
His face was burnt deep by the sun
     D              A           G 
Part history, part sage, part Mexican
        D                A          G 
He was there when Poncho Villa was young 

          D         A           G
And he'd tell us a tale of the old days 
         D           A         G
When the country was wild all around 
         D          A           G
Sit out under the stars of the milky way 
    D             A        G
And listen to the coyotes howl 



And they'd go .....
D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A           G
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
 D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A           G       A
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo


         Bm
Now the long horns are gone 
         D
And the drovers are gone
      G  
The Comanche's are gone 
         A
And the outlaws are gone
   Bm 
Geronimo's gone 
     D
And Sam Bass is gone 
        G
And the lion is gone 
        A
And the red wolf is gone....

 

         D              A             G
Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men 
       D           A    G
And he cursed the automobile 
                  D                A          G
He'd say "This is no place for an hombre like I am, 
        D            A           G
in this new world of asphalt and steel." 

           D           A            G
Then he'd look off somewhere in the distance 
   D              A        G
At something only he could see
              D           A          G 
He'd say "The only thing left of the old days
           D          A          G 
are these danged old coyotes and me." 



And they'd go ..... 
D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A           G
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
 D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A           G       A
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
        

        Bm
Now the long horns are gone 
        D
And the drovers are gone 
      G
The Comanche's are gone 
         A
And the outlaws are gone 
    Bm  
Now Quatro is gone 
     D
Stan Wanche is gone 
        G
And the lion is gone 
         A
And the red wolf is gone 



     D            A            G
One morning they searched his adobe 
        D              A      G
He disappeared without even a word 
         D            A                G
But that night as the moon crossed the mountain 
D            A          G
One more old coyote was heard 


And he'd go .....
D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A           G
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
 D         A        G
Hooo yip  Hooo Yip Hoo
    D           A          G       
Hoodloo yip hoo hoo yip hoo hoo
