Verse 1
C

No regrets, coyote
E

We just come from such
A

different sets of circumstance

I'm up all night in the studios
D
E

And you're up early on your ranch
D

You'll be brushing out a

brood mare's tail

While the sun is ascending
A

And I'll just be getting home

with my reel to reel
C

There's no comprehending
E

Just how close to the bone
A

and the skin and the eyes
D

And the lips you can get
E

And still feel so alone
D

And still feel related

Like stations in some relay
A

You're not a,

a hit and run driver, no, no
C

Racing away
E

You just picked up a hitcher

A prisoner of the white lines on the
A

freeway

Verse 2
C

We saw a farmhouse burning down
E

In the middle of nowhere

In the middle of the night
A

We rolled right past
D

that tragedy
E

'Til we turned down

to some road house lights
D

Where a local band was playing

Locals were up kicking and
A

shaking on the floor

And the next thing I know
C

That coyote's at my door
E

He pins me in a corner

and he won't take no
A
D

Drags me out on the dance floor
E

And we're dancing close and slow
D

Now he's got a woman at home

He's got another woman down the hall

He seems to want me anyway
A

Why'd you have to

get so drunk
C

And lead me on that way
E

You just picked up a hitcher

A prisoner of the white lines on the

Verse 3
C

I looked a coyote right in the face
E

On the road to Baljennie,
A

near my old home town
D

He went running thru the whisker wheat
E

Chasing some prize down
D

And a hawk was playing with him
D

Coyote was jumping straight up
A

and making passes

He had those same eyes
C

just like yours

Under your dark glasses
E

Privately probing the public rooms
A

And peeking through keyholes
D

in numbered doors
E

Where the players

lick their wounds
D

And take their temporary lovers

And their pills and powders
A

To get them through this passion play

No regrets, coyote
C

I just get off up always
E

You just picked up a hitcher

A prisoner of the white lines on the

Verse 4
C

Coyote's in in the coffee shop
E

He's staring a hole in his scrambled eggs
A
D

He picks up my scent on his fingers
E

While he's watching

the waitresses' legs
D

He's too far from the Bay of Fundy

From appaloosas
A

and eagles and tides
C

And the air conditioned cubicles

And the carbon ribbon rides
E

Are spelling it out so clear
A

Either he's going to have to
D

stand and fight
E

Or take off out of here
D

I tried to run away myself

To run away and wrestle
A

with my e- go
C

With this, this flame
E

You put here in this Eskimo

In this hitcher
E

In this prisoner
E

Of the fine white lines

Of the white lines on the
A
D
A

free, free way

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
