[Verse 1]
Em             C     G  D                    C     G  G/F#
  Mile marker 35 I saw, John can ya hear him howlin?
Em                            C            G
  It must get lonely when the night sky falls
    D                      D7
The coyote calling, I'd sing if my voice could:


[Chorus 1]
C      G    Bm     Em  D C             G              D         Em  D
 Follow his high notes,    down to the bass where the low end goes
C          G        Bm        C             C  G/B Am       Em
 Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home

[Verse 2]
Em                             C         G
  We wandered aimless till the sun came up
   D                           C    G  G/F#
Oh bring out your trumpets, children
Em                                C           G
  Dance off the daylight till the moon wakes up
         D                           D7
When the king of the prairie sings a dirge to awaken we:

[Chorus 2]
C      G    Bm     Em  D C             G              D         Em  D

C          G        Bm        C             C  G/B Am       Em
 Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home

Em                               C         G
  We caught him bathing, licking at his wounds
  D                        C  G
A face no reaction, just silence
Em                       C         G
  Without a warning he began the tune, singing:

[Refrain 1]

Yeah just follow his high notes,    down to the bass where the low end goes
C          G        Bm        C             C  G/B Am       Em
 Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home
