Verse 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) Walkin' cross the desert, (A major)
it ain't (G major) no fun (A major) (C sharpaug)
(A major) Too hot in the day (G major) time,
(A major) too much sun (Bdim) (Fdim) (G major) (C major)
Lefty says (G major) (B major) we'll cross at night (E minor) time
Like my people always have done (A major) (D major)
Keep moving, quit nagging
Walk, don't (D minor) run
Verse 2
I (D major) (G major) ask Lefty,
(A major) (G major) Why'd we bring so much cheese? (A major)
(C sharpaug) Coyotes, Buddy,
(G major) (Bdim) (G major) just you (A major) wait and (Bdim) see
(C major) Coyotes (D major) eat anything, (E minor) Buddy,
long (A major) as it's free
Suppose (D major) they want a little something extra,
Lefty?
(Dsus4) Might be you and might (G major) be me (D major)

Out steps a green (A major) dog,

"In my world everyone is a friend
Shaking hands,
saying (C major) how do you (G major) (E minor) (C major) do
