Bb   Eb


[Verse]
              Eb
A many a long year   I played a lone hand
         Bb                        Eb
I rid my horse   into many strange lands
Eb
Until one day   I stopped for a while
              Bb                    Eb
For two brown eyes   and a heavenly smile


[Chorus]
         Ab                            Eb
Oh  howl away (oh  howl away)  you old coyote
            Ab                                   Eb
I hear your sad (I hear your sad)  your lonesome song
             Ab                           Eb
It’s calling me (it’s calling me)  to Oklahoma
              Bb               Eb
Back to those hills  where I belong

             Eb
I loved that gal  when I first saw her smile
            Bb                      Eb
I rested my horse  there just for a while
Eb
Those big brown eyes  they seemed to say
                Bb                Eb
I’ll steal your heart  if you go away


[Chorus]
         Ab                            Eb
Oh  howl away (oh  howl away)  you old coyote
            Ab                                   Eb
I hear your sad (I hear your sad)  your lonesome song
             Ab                           Eb
It’s calling me (it’s calling me)  to Oklahoma
              Bb               Eb
Back to those hills  where I belong

[Verse]
         Eb
As I sit here  in my camp-fire’s gleam
              Bb                 Eb
With a lonely heart  alone in my dream
Eb
As I nestle down  in my blanket roll
                 Bb                       Eb
I dream of those eyes  and the story they told


[Chorus]
         Ab                            Eb
Oh  howl away (oh  howl away)  you old coyote
            Ab                                   Eb
I hear your sad (I hear your sad)  your lonesome song
             Ab                           Eb
It’s calling me (it’s calling me)  to Oklahoma
              Bb               Eb
Back to those hills  where I belong
