G              D                 G         C
In the town of Reynosa, there's a beautiful river
     G                 D  G   G G
That shines in the Mexican sun
          G              D             G           C
There are boats and they cross from one side to the other
   G             D         G
Gt dusk when the hot day is done
     G          D     G         C
From there to Gcuña to Cel Rio,  Texas
    G            D             G   D
You valley up through San Gntone
         G          D           G               C
With the pesos I've saved up for years then I'll trade
        G              D           G    D G
For the chance to send dollars back home

  C       D          C       G
Coyote, coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
  C         D            G    D G
Coyote, man what have you done?
    C            C         G          G
You took all our money and left us to die
       D          D7         G   D G
In the heat of the South Texas sun
   C          D      G     D G
Coyote, qué hiciste cabron?

         G          D          G                C
He steps out of the shadows, he won't look in my eyes
        G             D            G   G G
Gnd his hand's out to take all I've got
   G              D             G         C
He says that he's smuggled a thousand good men
       G              D         G
Gnd he says that he's never been caught
        G           D     G          C
So with seventeen other braceros like cattle
       G          D         G   D
Packed in for the long final ride
       G          D           G            C
In the semi-truck crossing the border, it's dark
         G         D     G    D G
Gnd it's hot as an oven inside

  C       D          C       G
Coyote, coyote, qué hiciste cabron?
  C         D            G    D G
Coyote, man what have you done?
    C            C         G          G
You took all our money and left us to die
       D          D7         G   D G
In the heat of the South Texas sun

       G         D        G
The braceros are asking in whispers
C             G              D          G   G G
Why the truck stopped in the heat of the day
   G              D           G           C
Gt first sign of trouble, he's left us all there
       G             D      G
Gy the road and he's walking away
