lyrics

Coyote Song

Am G
The Great Chief gave me power before the sky was lit
C Em Am
and people were a dark and silent dream.
If you believe the legends I outwitted all my foes,
brought the Hopi stars and salmon to the streams.


G Am
I take the lightning from the thunder, the teeth from the cold,
G F E7
give luck to the hunter and a prayer to the old.
Am G Am
Yip, yip, Yi Coyote Song
Yip, yip, Yi Coyote Song.

Lately I’ve been looking for the wandering tribes.
I lost the tracks of all their buffalo.
Not a singe Appaloosa can I smell upon the breeze
from Yosemite to the Medicine Bow.

refrain

At night my spirit shadow travels round the world
jumping borders made like prison wire.
I can hear the “crack crack” of guns among the poor
like pine sticks thrown upon the fire.

refrain

You huddle in your cities, neon , smoke and stone.
Forget how to live with us upon the land.
The mesa called Nevada glows pale in the night
creaking like a trap door in the sand.

refrain
