Mile marker 35 I saw, John can ya hear him howlin?
It must get lonely when the night sky falls
The coyote calling, I'd sing if my voice could:
horus 1
Follow his high notes, down to the bass where the low end goes
Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home
Lead Fill:
We wandered aimless till the sun came up
Oh bring out your trumpets, children
Dance off the daylight till the moon wakes up
When the king of the prairie sings a dirge to awaken we:
horus 2
Follow his high notes, down to the bass where the low end goes
Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home
Instrumental 1
We caught him bathing, licking at his wounds
A face no reaction, just silence
Without a warning he began the tune, singing:
Sha-na-na-nanana, Sha-sha-la sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-nana
A-WHOO, A-WHOO
Sha-na-na-nanana, Sha-sha sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-nana
A-WHOO
horus 3
Yeah just follow his high notes, down to the bass where the low end goes
Hungry to hide the killer inside, when the Coyote calls me home
Instrumental
(3/4 time)
Sha-na-na-nanana, Sha-sha sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-nana
A-WHOO, A-WHOO
Sha-na-na-nanana, Sha-sha sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-nana
A-WHOO, A-WHOO
Sha-na-na-nanana (sha-na), Sha-sha sha-na-na, Sha-na-na-nana
