Intro:
D5D5 x16

Verse 1:
D5D5
Look at me coyote
                   D5D5
Don't let a little road dust put you off
   D5D5
You can't judge a book
           D5D5
Well, you know that stuff
     D5D5
There's a tear in my upholstery
          D5D5
And a hole in my shoe
   N.C.
But don't you just wish that you could
N.C.           D5D5
Make half of the speed I do
     FF      G+G      D5D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

Verse 2:
   D5D5
You can't catch me coyote
                  D5D5
Though there may be blood on the tracks
    D5D5
There may be some bridges burning
       D5D5
Behind our backs
       D5D5
But I got my laundry on the backseat
         D5D5
And an itinerary too
   N.C.
And don't you just wish that you could
N.C.           D5D5
Make half of the speed I do
    FF      G+G     D5D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    FF      G+G     D5D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

N.C.
Now I'm a speck on your horizon
N.C.
Getting smaller fast
N.C.
An ambush wouldn't be surprising
N.C.
I hope it's better than your last

Interlude:
D5D5 x4

Verse 3:
D5D5
Once again the roadrunner
             D5D5
Leaves the coyote in the dirt
      D5D5
You've got another plan of action
                   D5D5
But we all know it ain't never gonna work
      D5D5
It must be hard having dog dreams
         D5D5
That never come true
  N.C.
And don't you just with that you could
N.C.           D5D5
Make half of the speed I do
     FF      G+G      D5D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
     FF      G+G      D5D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
