[Verse]
Em              D
I'd been ridin' fence all day
Bm            Em
Way up on the summer range
Em               D
Found a place to make my bed
Bm             Em
As the evening shadow spread

C                   Em
Beyond the campfire light
C                            Em
Through the stillness of the night
C                             Em  D
Came the call of the coyote's cho-ir
C                 D           Em
And a song of the wind in the wire

Em                 D
As it strummed the rusted strings
Bm             Em
It sang a long forgotten theme
Em             D
Many moons and many suns
Bm          Em
Of the real Americans

C                      Em
When the arrow and the bow
C                    Em
Stalked the range of bufallo
C                            Em  D
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir
C                         D           Em
And you know songs of the wind in the wire

Em             D
As the ghostly baladeer
Bm             Em
Hypnotized me, I could hear
Em              D
Bugle calls and battle cries
Bm                  Em
Broken promises and lies

C                  Em
The spirits of the plains
C                    Em
Still sing their sad refrain
C                            Em  D
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir
C                 D           Em
And a song of the wind in the wire

C                  Em
The spirits of the plains
C                    Em
Still sing their sad refrain
C                            Em  D
And the call of the coyote's cho-ir
C                 D           Em
And a song of the wind in the wire
