Hey Coyote

[Verse 1]
          D
Where you from? she said
                               Bm
Staring a hole right through my  
traveler’s halo
                    G
A worker bee on the threshold, in 
the throes of it
A                              D
 I ducked in from a dark cloud


[Verse 2]
               D
Before I could think a return to 
order
            Bm
I glanced a messenger on her 
shoulder
                 G
A sort of dog in ink
                A                  
And it held my attention for just a
           D
 second too long


[Chorus]
       G       A
I said, hey, coyote
    D             A         
How long can you stand in the 
           Bm
doorway?
   Em
Hey, coyote
A                          D
 Paint me another way home

[Verse 3]
      D
You remind me of a dream that I 
forgot as I awoke
         Bm
Yeah you struck me like a thought I 
thought I had until I spoke
             G
She askеd my name
                      A
She said, what’s your name?
                   D
Shе wrote it on my cup


[Verse 4]
                   D
There’s a separate metric here that 
comes with the territory
                  Bm
There’s a sort of beacon where there
 used to be a dull roar
               G                
If it beats it bleeds, and if it 
           A              D
bleeds it leads, so I’ll follow you


[Chorus]
        G      A
I said, hey, coyote
    D            A          
How long can you stand in the 
      Bm
doorway?
   Em
Hey, coyote
A                     D
 Paint me another way home

[Bridge]
        C                          
If it’s blood that lights the mind 
                      G
when there’s sugar in it
                     D
Maybe appetite’s the father
     F                             
If a child is born with wings and a
 C
 raven’s beak
        A
You can lead a horse to water


[Chorus]

I said, hey, coyote

How long can you stand in the

Hey, coyote
