A


[Verse 1]
             A
Rangy coyote run from a ghetto bird in the smog
                    G                       D
a peaceful eater of berries with a heart of down
                   A
Vainly looking for love, love, but only finding a fight
                    G                         D      C    B7    C
With the killers of rabbits and the chaparral bums 


[Chorus]
G                               C     B7   C 
In the sage to find a shivering fawn
G                                    A
A little something to hang his hopes on


[Verse 2]
                     A          
He's the breather of fog now, and a lover of light
                  G                        D
He's ghost in the canyon, both a dog and a deer
                   A
He's a singer of a sad song who only wanted to be
               G                    D      C    B7    C
a piece of the story, a part of our movie


[Chorus]
G                                  C    B7    C 
Across the scrub, the lights of Avalon
G                                    A
A little something to hang his hopes on

[Chorus]
G                                  C    B7   C 
Across the scrub, the lights of Avalon
G                                    A
A little something to hang his hopes on


[Verse 3]
                   A                              
Vainly looking for love, love, but only finding a fight
                    G                         D
With the killers of rabbits and the chaparral bums
             A
Rangy coyote run from a ghetto bird in the smog
                    G                       D     C    B7    C
a peaceful eater of berries with a heart of down


[Outro]
G                               C
In the sage to find a shivering fawn
G                                    A
A little something to hang his hopes on
