D               A             G 
Was a cowboy I knew in south Texas 
D                   A            G 
His face was burnt deep by the sun  
D               A         G 
Part history, part sage, part Mexican 
D                         A          G 
He was there when Pancho Villa was young 
 
D                    A            G 
And he'd tell you a tail of the old days 
D                     A         G 
When the country was wild all around 
D                   A           G 
sit out under the stars of the Milky Way 
D                     A       G 
And listen while the coyotes howled and they go.. 
 
D       A        G 
Poodi yip poo yip poo 
D                 A          G 
Poodi hoo di yip poo di yip poo 
D       A        G 
Poo yip poo yip poo 
D                  A          G 
Poo di hoo di yip poo di yip poo 
 
Bm                          G 
Now the Longhorns are gone and the drovers are gone 
Em                      A 
The Comanches are gone and the out laws are gone 
Em                  D 
Geronimo is gone and Sam Bass is gone 
G                       A   
And the lion is gone and the red wolf is gone

D                       A              G 
Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men 
D                  A     G 
And he cursed the automobile 
G           D           A                 G 
Said "this is no place for an hombre like I am  
D                   A              G 
In this new world of asphault and steel" 
 
D                        A              G 
Then He'd look off some place in the distance 
D                 A        G  
At somethin only he could see 
 
D                         A          G 
He?d say "all thats left now of the old days 
D           A           G 
Damned ol' coyotes and me" and they go 
 
D       A        G 
Poo yip poo yip poo

Now the Longhorns are gone and the drovers are gone  
Em                       A 
The Comanches are gone and the outlaws are gone 
Em                  D 
Now Quatro is gone, Stan Wantee is gone  
G                   A 
And the lion gone and the red wolf is gone 
 
D           A              G 
One mornin they searched his adobe 
D               A              G 
He disappeared without even a word 
G         D             A                G 
But that night as the moon crossed the mountains 
D         A          G 
One more coyote was heard and he'd go 
 
D       A        G 
Poo yip poo yip poo
