El Coyote

C                 G                C          F
In the town of Reynosa, there's a beautiful river
      C            G       C
That shines in the Mexico sun
C                          G             C          F
There are boats and they cross from one side to the other
    C            G           C
At dusk when the hot day is done
C               G      C          F
From there to Acuna to Del Rio, Texas
    C            G           C
Uvalde up through San Antone
C               G      C          F
With the pesos I've saved up for years then I'll trade
    C            G           C               C7
For the chance to send dollars back home


[Chorus]
F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?
G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?
    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die
       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun
  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?

[Verse 2]
C                   G             C             F
He steps out of the shadows, he won't look in my eyes
     C            G            C
His hand's out to take all I've got
C                 G                C          F
He says that he's smuggled a thousand good men
      C            G              C
And he says that he's never been caught
C                 G         C          F
So with seventeen other, braceros like cattle
      C            G           C
Packed in for that long final ride
C                 G             C          F
In the semi-truck crossing the border it's dark
      C            G       C         C7
And it's hot as an oven inside


[Chorus]

F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?
G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?
    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die
       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun
  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?


[Verse 3]
C           G              C          F
The braceros are asking in whispers
      C                       G           C
Why the truck stopped in the heat of the day?
C                 G                C          F
At first sign of trouble, he's left us all there
      C               G       C       C7
By the road and he's walking away


[Chorus]

F                       C
Coyote, coyote, que hiciste cabron?
G                           C
Coyote, man what have you done?
    F            Fm         C
You took all our money and left us to die
       G                        C
In the heat of the South Texas sun
  G                      C
Coyote, que hiciste cabron?
