C                 A7
Campfire burns a hole in the sky
    D7                      G
The moon says hello with a wink of his eye
C                   A7
Coffee is blue in a kettle of black

Me and the cowboys cant wait to get back
         C                       Cm
With our doggies and cattle from texas we ride
F                       Fm
Craze all the prarie on this starry night
    C                   A7
The coyotes howl oh the song of the dove

The stars look down from the heavans above

I-oh-lay-o I-oh-lay-day

[Verse 2]
C                     A7
Cowboys can stand the wind and the rain

Even the dog days out on the plains
C                         A            A7
Hurtin the longhorn with days without end
D                           G
Sometimes at night the coyote's our friend
Cm          C
Over those trails and across them streams
F             Fm
Even a cowboy has to have dreams
Am                 A
Deep in our hearts we still long for home

C            Am      A7
Saddles and stirries we back on our horse
    D7             G
The cowboys job we know it of course
      C         Am      A7
When others are resting we're riding along
D                      G
Driving our cattle and singing our song
 
[Bridge]
   Cm                   C
Oh once in awhile we'll hear a sad sound
    F                        Fm
The mournful cry of that old lonesome hound
E    Am
But never a worry we know he's our friend
  D                          G
He'll follow us back to the trails very end

     C    E      A7
I-o-lay-oh I-oh-lay-day

The coyote he's howling he's howling his tune
      C   E      A
I-oh-lay-do I-oh-lay-day
     D                        G
The coyote he's howling he's howling to me
