Tom: D
D D Bm Bm
G A D D
[Verse 1]
D
Where you from? she said
Bm
Staring a hole right through my traveler’s halo
G
A worker bee on the threshold, in the throes of it
A D
I ducked in from a dark cloud
[Verse 2]
D
Before I could think a return to order
Bm
I glanced a messenger on her shoulder
G
A sort of dog in ink
A D
And it held my attention for just a second too long
[Chorus]
G A
I said, hey, coyote
D A Bm
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Em
Hey, coyote
A D
Paint me another way home
[Verse 3]
D
You remind me of a dream that I forgot as I awoke
Bm
Yeah you struck me like a thought I thought I had until I spoke
G
She askеd my name
A
She said, what’s your name?
D
Shе wrote it on my cup
[Verse 4]
D
There’s a separate metric here that comes with the territory
Bm
There’s a sort of beacon where there used to be a dull roar
G A D
If it beats it bleeds, and if it bleeds it leads, so I’ll follow you
[Chorus]
G A
I said, hey, coyote
D A Bm
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Em
Hey, coyote
A D
Paint me another way home
[Interlude]
D D Bm Bm
G A D D
[Bridge]
C G
If it’s blood that lights the mind when there’s sugar in it
D
Maybe appetite’s the father
F C
If a child is born with wings and a raven’s beak
A
You can lead a horse to water
[Chorus]
G A
I said, hey, coyote
D A Bm
How long can you stand in the doorway?
Em
Hey, coyote
A D
Paint me another way home
[Outro]
