     E                                                                 B7
They call him a bandit, you kow the notches that he oughta wear on his gun
                                                                             E
He sees you thru eyes that he's partially blinded by starin' too long at the sun
                                                                               A
But he's true to his school and he's nobody's fool and he's lucky to still be alive
                                 E                 B7                  E
The wolf pack will die when it's scattered by man, lonesome coyotes survive

   E                                                                     B7
He buried his feelin's and life was a mountain that he was determined to climb
                                                                             E
Then he caught the scent of a sister in spirit who taught him to love her in time
                                                                     A
Somehow or other she gathered together the cubs that he sired on the way
                                  E                           B7                     E
And they run by his side thru the chill hungry night and they sleep to the sweet serenade


CHORUS:
          A                       E
There's a part of his heart up in Heaven
      A                      E
And a part that'll always be wild
    A                        E*
And all he can leave them is love and a reason 
   B
To run for the rest of their lives
N/C               
Lonesome coyotes survive
        E
Hey hey Hey


SOLO: E  B7  E


CHORUS:
          A                        E
There's a part of his heart up in Heaven
      A                      E
And a part that'll always be wild
     A                       E*
And all he can leave them is love and a reason
   B
To run for the rest of their lives
N/C
Lonesome coyotes survive
