[Intro]
Cadd9 Csus4 (x4)
[Verse 1]
Bb5
No regrets Coyote
Dm9
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
Cadd9 Csus4
I'm up all night in the studios
Csus4 G
And you're up early on your ranch
F
You'll be brushing out a broodmare's tail
F
While the sun is ascending, and I'll just be
Cadd9 Csus4
Getting home with my reel to reel
Bb5
There's no comprehending
Dm9 Cadd9
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
Cadd9 Csus4
And the lips you can get
G
And still feel so alone
F
And still feel related
F
Like stations in some relay
F Cadd9 Csus4
You're not a hit and run driver no no
Bb5
Racing away
Dm9
You just picked up a hitcher
Dm9 Cadd9
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[Break]
Cadd9 Csus4 (x4)
[Verse 2]
Bb5
We saw a farmhouse burning down
Dm9
In the middle of nowhere
Dm9
In the middle of the night
Cadd9 Csus4
And we rolled right past that tragedy
G
Till we turned into some road house lights
F
Where a local band was playing
F Cadd9
Locals were up kicking and shaking on the floor
Cadd9 Csus4
And the next thing I know
Bb5
That coyote's at my door
Dm9
He pins me in a corner and he won't take no
Cadd9 Csus4
He drags me out on the dance floor
G
And we're dancing close and slow
F
Now he's got a woman at home
F
He's got another woman down the hall
F
He seems to want me anyway
Cadd9 Csus4
Why'd you have to get so drunk
Bb5
And lead me on that way
Dm9
You just picked up a hitcher
Dm9
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[Break]
Cadd9 Csus4 (x4)
[Verse 3]
Bb5
I looked a coyote right in the face
Dm9 Cadd9
On the road to Baljennie near my old home town
Cadd9 Csus4
He went running thru the whisker wheat
G
Chasing some prize down
F
And a hawk was playing with him
F Cadd9
Coyote was jumping straight up and making passes
Cadd9 Csus4
He had those same eyes just like yours
Bb5
Under your dark glasses
Dm9
Privately probing the public rooms
Cadd9 Csus4
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
G
Where the players lick their wounds
G F
And take their temporary lovers
F Cadd9 Csus4
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play
Csus4
No regrets Coyote
Bb5
I just get off up aways
Dm9
You just picked up a hitcher
Dm9
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
[Break]
Cadd9 Csus4 (x4)
[Verse 4]
Bb5
Coyote's in the coffee shop
Dm9
He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
Cadd9 Csus4
He picks up my scent on his fingers
G
While he's watching the waitresses' legs
F
He's too far from the Bay of Fundy
F
From appaloosas and eagles and tides
Cadd9 Csus4
And the air conditioned cubicles
Bb5
And the carbon ribbon rides
Dm9
Are spelling it out so clear
Cadd9 Csus4
Either he's going to have to stand and fight
G
Or take off out of here
F
I tried to run away myself
F Cadd9 Csus4
To run away and wrestle with my ego
Bb5
And with this flame
Dm9
You put here in this Eskimo
Dm9
In this hitcher
Dm9
In this prisoner
Dm9
Of the fine white lines
Dm9 Cadd9 Csus4
Of the white lines on the free free way
[Outro]
Cadd9 Csus4 Bb5 Dm9
Cadd9 Csus4 (x8 until fade out)
