Mr Coyote And The Terrible Things He Taught His Children by James Spaite
Mr Coyote And The Terrible Things He Taught His Children
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse]
C G Am C
The coyotes they sing out here
F
In the dark before the cockadoodle crows
G C
And the freedom of daylight draws near
C G Am C
The coyotes they howl a painful song to my ears
F
And I hear less hope than a sad Negro Spiritual
G C
Sung by mothers in tears
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
So I asked Coyote
C7 F
Why he does the things he does
Fm
And he replied to me softly,
C G
“Because I am my father’s son.”
But I told him that,
Am
“Things can change
Em
They don’t have to stay the same”
C7
“Things can change
F
They don’t have to stay the same”
Fm
“Things can change
G
They don’t have to stay the same”
F
They don’t have to stay the same”
But he stopped me and he said
[Chorus]
C G Am G F
“Arghhh-wooooo
C G
I’m a slave to the moon
C G Am G F
Arghhh-wooooo
C G
I’m a Coyote and it’s just what we do”
[Chorus]
C
The coyotes
Em G Am C
Oh, they waste their time out here
F
In the dark chasing their own tails
G C
Running in circles of fear
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
So I asked Coyote
C7 F
Why he does the things he does
Fm
And he replied to me softly,
C G
“Because I am my father’s son.”
But I told him that,
Am
“Things can change
Em
They don’t have to stay the same”
C7
“Things can change
F
They don’t have to stay the same”
Fm
“Things can change
G
They don’t have to stay the same”
F
They don’t have to stay the same”
But he stopped me and he said
[Chorus]
C G Am C F
“Arghhh-wooooo
C G
I’m a slave to the moon
C G Am C F
Arghhh-wooooo
C G
I’m a Coyote and it’s just what we do”
[Bridge]
Oooo, but I told him that
C
“You don’t have to have
G
the bitter taste in your mouth no more
Am G
from the sour grapes your parents ate
C F
that was their choice not your’s
C G
I believe a father’s child can change their own ways, their own ways.
C G
And I know that this is something that I’ve said before
Am G C F
But there’s time and these things can be restored.”
C
And I won’t stop until we all make it there.
G
And we will sing a new song like
[Outro]
C G Am G C F
“Arghhh-wooooo
C G
We are slaves to no thing, no thing
C G Am C F
Arghhh-wooooo
C G C
It’s for freedom we have been set free!”
