[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
Was a [D]cowboy
I [A]knew in south [G]Texas,
[D]His face was burnt dee[A]p by the sun,[G]
[D]Part history, part sag[A]e, part mesqui[G]t,
He was [D]there when Poncho
Vil[A]la was young[G].
[D]And he'd

[Verse 2]
tell you [A]a tale
of the [G]old days,
When the [D]country [A]was wild all [G]around,
Sit out [D]under [A]the stars [G]of the Milky Way,
And [D]listen while the [A]coyotes howl.

[Verse 3]
[G]And they go... [D]hoo yip [A]hoo yip [G]hoo
[D]hoodi hoo di yip [A]hoo [G]di yip [D]hoo
hoo yip [A]hoo yip [G]hoo
hoo di [D]hoo di yip hoo di [A]yip hoo[G]

[Verse 4]
Now the [Bm]long horns are gone,
And the [G]drovers are gone,
[Em]The Comanches are gone,
And the [A]outlaws are [Em]gone,
Geronimo is gone,
[D]And Sam Bass is gone,
[G]And the lion [A]is gone,
And the red wolf [D]is gone.
[A]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Well he [D]cursed all the road
[A]s and the oil m[G]en,
And he [D]cursed [A]the automobile,[G][D]
[G]Said this [D]is no place for
[A]an hombre like I [G]am,
In this [D]new world of [A]as
phalt and [G]steel.

[Verse 6]
Then he'd [D]look off some [A]place
in the [G]dis[Bm]tance,
[Em]At s[D]omething only he c[A]ould see,[G]
He'd say [D]all that's left
[A]now of the [G]old days,[Em]
[G]Those dam[D]ned old coy[A]otes and[G] me.

[Verse 7]
And they go [D]hoo yip [A]hoo [G]yip hoo
[D]hoodi hoo di yip [A]hoo di yip [G]hoo
[D]hoo yip [A]hoo [G]yip hoo
hoo di [D]hoo di yip [A]hoo di yip [G]hoo

[Verse 8]
Now the [Bm]long horns are gone,
And the [G]drovers are gone
[Em]The Comanches are gone
And [A]the outlaws [Em]are gone,
Now Quantro is [D]gone,
Stan Watie is gone
[G]And lion is gon[A]e,
And the red wolf is gone.
One [D]morning[A]

[Verse 9]
they searched his [G]adobe,
[D]He disappeared without [A]even a [G]word,
But that [D]night as [A]the moon
crossed [G]the mountain,
[D]One more [A]coyote was heard.

[Verse 10]
[G]And he'd go, [D]hoo yip [A]hoo yip [G]hoo
hoodi hoo di [D]yip hoo di yip [A]hoo[G]
[D]hoo yip [A]hoo yip [G]hoo
