Am Em Am Em Dm G Abdim Am Em Dm G
[Verse 1]
C
He’s got a US flag on his front porch
F C
To remind everyone where he lives
F C G/B
And up in the attic there are papers that prove
Am Gsus4 G
The old house is finally his
Em Dm7
After thirty-five years the grass still don’t grow
Bdim Abdim Am
In that rock hard west Texas ground
F C/E Dm G
Where my old dad still clings to that old coyote
C
town
[Chorus 1]
Em F
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front
Em F
Of a cafe that don’t need a name
Am7 C/G
Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll
Dm7 G
Past the boarded up windows down Main
[Verse 2]
C
Waist high weeds hide a for sale sign
F C
At the drive-in where my innocence died
F C G/B
With a rusty advertisement, dangling by a nail
Am G
Says Popcorn and Pepsi for a dime
Em Dm7
And down at the depot where I left for good
Dbdim Abdim Am
There’s a hobo with his three-legged hound
F C/E
Waitin' for a train, that no longer comes to that
Dm7 G C
old coyote town
[Chorus 2]
Em F
And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs
Em F
To a rhythm that don’t ever slow down
Am7 C/G
As cars and trucks, and time pass by
Dm7 G
That old coyote town
[Verse 3]
C
Daddy falls asleep in the living room
F C
On the sofa with the TV on
F C G/C
Sometimes he waits for a phone call from me
Am G
Sometimes he waits too long
Em Dm7
But I still think of the people and the place that
he loves
Bdim Abdim Am
How much longer will they be around
F C/E
Till its ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Dm G C
For that old coyote town
[Chorus 1]
Em F
Like horses the pick-ups are parked out in front
Em F
Of a cafe that don't need a name
Am7 C/G
Where the old men rock and the tumbleweeds roll
Dm7 G
Past the boarded up windows down Main
[Chorus 2]
Em F
And the interstate rumbles like a river that runs
Em F
To a rhythm that don’t ever slow down
Am7 C/G
As cars and trucks, and time pass by
F G C
That old coyote town
F G C
God bless that old coyote town
