Capo 2
Asus2: 002200 Dsus2: 000230 Em: 022000 Esus:022200
Played with eighth notes, emphasize the downstroke on the quarters. I use a little palm mute through the whole
song. Hammer off with middle finger to step down when changing chords from Asus to Dsus.
Listen to the intro for the Asus2 hammer-ons with pinky and pointer finger on the A string.
[Verse]
Well, I Asus2spend all day sittin' in the shade waitin' in my pickup truck
In Asus2not too long, a law man drives by, he stops to see what's up
I Dsus2had to pull on over and give my eyes a break
You're a Asus2busy man, nothin' to see here so we send him on his way
I Emsee his taillights fadin' and I grab my glass of tea
Dsus2Truth is, my name's Roy Johnson, coyote is my trAsus2ade
Not Asus2five minutes later, a mesquite bush starts shakin' like it was afraid
Dsus2Fifteen men, women, and children jumped in the back of my ChevAsus2rolet
Saw them Emtremblin' in my rearview mirror through my aviator shades
 Dsus2(ring)                                   Asus2  
Said, "me, I'm old Roy Johnson and coyote is my trade."
[Chorus]
'Cause Dsus2you won't hear me comin' and you won't see my face
I Asus2cut that trail a thousand times all without a trace
EsusIt's my line of business, no, it ain't a pretty thing
Dsus2My name is Roy Johnson, coyote is my tAsus2rade
[Verse]
I did whAsus2at my mama told me, I got my four year degree
Now I'm Asus2an expert in logistics, I get product from A to B
No, I doDsus2n't cut no corners, I've always got a plan
If you'rAsus2e lookin' for my services, amigo, I'm your man
I'll Emget you across that Rio, welcome to the USA
  Dsus2(ring)                                    Asus2  
Tip the hat, say the names Roy Johnson, coyote is my trade
[Chorus]
'Cause Dsus2you won't hear me comin' and you won't see my face

[Chorus 2]
Dsus2I guess they saw me comin', they saw my face

Now I sAsus2pend all day sittin' in the shade
