[Intro] 
E
[Verse]
They Ecall him a bandit, you kow the notches that he oughta wear on his B7gun
He sees you thru eyes that he's partially blinded by starin' too long at the Esun
But he's true to his school and he's nobody's fool and he's lucky to still be aAlive
The wolf pack will die when it's Escattered by man, B7lonesome coyotes surEvive
He Eburied his feelin's and life was a mountain that he was determined to B7climb
Then he caught the scent of a sister in spirit who taught him to love her in Etime
Somehow or other she gathered together the cubs that he sired on the Away
And they run by his side thru the Echill hungry night and they B7sleep to the sweet sereEnade
[Chorus]
There's a Apart of his heart up in EHeaven
And a Apart that'll always be Ewild
                            A  E*
And all he can leave them is love and a reason 
To Brun for the rest of their lives
N/C               
Lonesome coyotes survive
Hey hey EHey
[Solo] 
E  B7  E
[Chorus]
There's a Apart of his heart up in HEeaven
And a Apart that'll always be Ewild
                            A  E*
And all he can leave them is love and a reason
To Brun for the rest of their lives
N/C
Lonesome coyotes survive

They call him a bandit, you kow the notches that he oughta wear on his gun

The wolf pack will die when it's scattered by man, lonesome coyotes survive

Then he caught the scent of a sister in spirit who taught him to love her in time

Somehow or other she gathered together the cubs that he sired on the way

And they run by his side thru the chill hungry night and they sleep to the sweet serenade

[Chorus]
