_ [D] Was a cowboy [A] I knew in [G] South Texas _ [D] his face was [A] burnt deep [G] by the Sun
_ _ [D] part history [A] part sage [G] part Mesquite
He [D] was there when [A] Pancho Villa was [G] young
And [D] he'd tell you [A] a tale
[G] of the old days
When [D] the country [A] was wild [G] all around
Sit [D] out under [A] the [G] stars of the Milky Way _ [D] and listen while the [A]
[G] coyotes howl
[D] They go Oh [A] Whoo-hoo

[Em] The Comanches are gone [A] and the outlaws are gone

[D] Well, he cursed all the [A] roads and [G] the old men, _ [D] and he cursed [A] the automobile,
[G] _ _
said [D] this is no place [A] for an hombre [G] like I am in [D] this new world [A] of asphalt and [G] steel.
_ _ [D] Then he'd look off some [A] place [G] in the distance at [D] something only [A] he could [G] see.
_ He'd [D] say all that's left [A] now of [G] the old days, _ [D] damned [A] old coyotes [G] and me.
_ And they'd [D] go,
ooo-yip [A]-hooo [G]-yip-hooo,
[D] hoot-a-loo-yip-hooo [A]-hooo,
[G] ooo _ _ _ [D] _ -yip [A]-hooo [G]-yip-hooo,
_ [D] hoot-a-loo-yip-hooo [A]-hooo.
[G] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] Now the longhorns are gone, [G] and the drovers are gone,
[Em] the Comanches are gone, [A] the outlaws are gone,
[Em] now Quantro is gone, Stan [D] Wonte is gone,

_ _ _ [D] One morning [A] they searched [G] his adobe.
_ [D] He disappeared [A] without even [G] a word.
_ But [D] that night as [A] the moon [G] crossed the mountain,
_ _ [D] _ _
[A] one more coyote was [G] heard, _ _ _ _ and he'd go,
[D] _ ooo-yip [A]-hooo [G]-yip-hooo,
