Intro:
D5 x16

Verse 1:
D5
Look at me coyote
                   D5
Don't let a little road dust put you off
   D5
You can't judge a book
           D5
Well, you know that stuff
     D5
There's a tear in my upholstery
          D5
And a hole in my shoe
   N.C.
But don't you just wish that you could
N.C.           D5
Make half of the speed I do
     F      G      D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do

Verse 2:
   D5
You can't catch me coyote
                  D5
Though there may be blood on the tracks
    D5
There may be some bridges burning
       D5
Behind our backs
       D5
But I got my laundry on the backseat
         D5
And an itinerary too
   N.C.
And don't you just wish that you could
N.C.           D5
Make half of the speed I do
    F      G     D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
    F      G     D5
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:
D5 x4

Verse 3:
D5
Once again the roadrunner
             D5
Leaves the coyote in the dirt
      D5
You've got another plan of action
                   D5
But we all know it ain't never gonna work
      D5
It must be hard having dog dreams
         D5
That never come true
  N.C.
And don't you just with that you could
N.C.           D5
Make half of the speed I do
     F      G      D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
     F      G      D5
Speed I do, speed I do, speed I do
