No regrets Coyote,
Fmaj7/G
C
we just come from such different sets of circumstance
Cadd9
C
I’m up all night in the studio
Fmaj7/G
G
while you’re up early on your ranch
Fsus4
F
You’ll be brushing out a brood mare’s tail
Fsus4
F
while the sun is ascending
Cadd9
C
And I’ll just be getting home with my reel to reel,
Ebmaj7
there’s no comprehending
Fmaj7/G
Cadd9
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
C
and the lips you can get
Gsus4
G
and still feel so alone,
Fsus4
F
and still feel related
Fsus4
F
Like stations in some relay, you’re not a
Cadd9
C
Hit and run driver no, no,
Ebmaj7
racing away
Fmaj7/G
You just picked up a hitcher,
Cadd9
C
a prisoner of the white lines on the freeway
Cadd9

We saw a farmhouse burning down,
Fmaj7/G
in the middle of nowhere
C
Cadd9
C
And we rolled right past that tragedy,
Fmaj7/G
G
till we rolled into some roadhouse lights
Fsus4
F
Where a local band was playin’,
Fsus4
F
C
locals were kickin’ and shakin’ on the floor
Cadd9
C
The next thing I know
Ebmaj7
that Coyote’s at my door
Fmaj7/G
He pins me in the corner and he won’t take “No!”
C
Cadd9
C
He drags me out on the dance floor
Gsus4
G
and we’re dancin’ close and slow
Fsus4
F
Now he’s got a woman at home,
Fsus4
he’s got another woman down the hall
F
And he seems to want me anyway
C
Cadd9
C
Why’d you have to get so drunk
Ebmaj7
and lead me on that way
Fmaj7/G
You just picked up a hitcher,
Cadd9

a prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

I looked the Coyote right in the face
Fmaj7/G
on the road to Baljennie near my old home town
C
Cadd9
C
He went runnin’ through the whisker wheat,
Fmaj7/G
G
chasin’ some prize down
Fsus4
F
And a hawk was playin with him,
Fsus4
F
Coyote was jumpin’ straight up and makin’ passes
C
Cadd9
C
Ebmaj7
He had those same eyes just like yours
Fmaj7/G
Privately probing the public rooms,
C
Cadd9
C
peeking through keyholes in numbered doors
Gsus4
G
Where the players lick their wounds
Fsus4
F
and take their temporary lovers
Fsus4
F
C
And their pills and powders to get them through this passion play
Cadd9
C
No regrets Coyote,
Ebmaj7
I just get off up aways
Fmaj7/G
You just picked up a hitcher,
Cadd9

Coyote’s in the coffee shop,
Fmaj7/G
he’s staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
C
Cadd9
C
He picks up my scent on his fingers
Fmaj7/G
G
while he’s watching the waitresses legs
Fsus4
F
He’s too far from the Bay of Fundy,
Fsus4
F
C
Appaloosas and eagles and tides
Cadd9
C
And the air conditioned cubicles
Ebmaj7
and the carbon ribbon rides
Fmaj7/G
Are spelling it out so clear
C
Cadd9
C
Either he’s gonna have to stand and fight
Gsus4
G
or take off out of here
Fsus4
F
I tried to run away myself,
Fsus4
F
C
Cadd9
C
to run away and wrestle with my ego
Ebmaj7
And with this flame,
Fmaj7/G
you put here in this Eskimo
Cadd9
C
Cadd9
C
Of the white lines on the free, free way
