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

[Em] The Comanches are gone
[A] and the outlaws are gone
[Em] Geronimo's gone, and [D] Sam Bass is gone, and [G] the lion is gone, [A] and the red wolf is gone.
[D] Well, he cursed all [A] the roads and [G] the old men, [D] and he cursed the [A] [G] automobile,
said [D] this is no place for [A] an hombre [G] like I am in [D] this new world [A] of asphalt and [G]
steel.
[D] Then he'd look off [A] someplace [G] in the distance at
[D] something only [A] he could [G] see.
He'd [D] say all that's [A] left now of [G] the old days,
[D] damned [A] old coyotes [G] and me.
And they'd go [D] ooh-yip, [A] hoo-yip [G]-hoo, [D] hoo-de-loo-de-hoo [A]-hoo, hoo [G]
-yip [D] [A]-hoo [G]-yip-hoo, [D] hoo-de-loo-de-hoo [A]

[Bm] Now the long horns are gone, [G] and the drovers are gone.
[Em] The Comanches are gone, [A] the outlaws are gone.
[Em] Now Quantro's gone, [D] Stanwante's gone, [G] and the lion is gone, [A] and the red wolf is gone.
[D] One morning they [A]
searched [G] his adobe.
He [D] disappeared [A] without even [G] a word.
But [D] that night [A] as the moon [G] crossed the mountain,
[D] one [A] more coyote was [G] heard, and he'd go
[D] Who-U, [A] Who [G]-U, Who -U, [D] Woot-oo-Loot-oo+, [A] Who-U, [G]
