[Verse 1]
[D]Wal[G]kin[D]' c[G]ross the desert,[A]
[G]it ain't no [A]fun[C#aug]
[A]Too hot in the day[G]time,
[A]too much sun[Bdim][Fdim][G][C]
Lefty [G]says [B]we'll cross at nighttim[Em]e
Like my people always have [A]done[D]
Keep moving, quit nagging
Walk, don't [Dm]run

[Verse 2]
[D]I a[G]sk Lefty,
[A]Why[G]'d we bring so muc[A]h cheese?
[C#aug]Coyotes, Buddy,
[G]jus[Bdim]t you w[G]ait and se[A]e[Bdim]
[C]Coyotes eat[D] anything, Bud[Em]dy,
[A]long as it's free
Suppose [D]they want a little something extra,
Lefty?
[Dsus4]Might be you and might be [G]me[D]

[Verse 3]
Well [G]the desert's [Dm]dark [A]and the desert's deep,
[G]stars everywhere
Something like you never [Dm]see s[Em]it[Dm]
[G]tin' in your easy [Am]chair[Adim]
Watch out[Cm], Lef[G]ty,
something [Adim]strange is comin' [G]down
Look out! It's a bird, [A]it's a plane,
it's [G]a flyin' tin can
Got those coyotes on the run

[Verse 4]
Out steps a green [A]dog,
as green as he can [G]be
Or maybe she,
'cause when they're [A]wearin' space suits
You can't tell,
'cause you can't see
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Ddim]
[D]"In my [G]world, [A]toads are purple,
mice are [G]blue, and I [C]declare
A red cat [A]is [Cm]really something new
[G]I'm so far from home,
[Dsus4]can you tell me w[G]hat s[Am]hould I do[D]?"
[G][Bdim]

[Verse 6]
[G]
"Do [Bm]you [D]think [G]there is room for
me in this strange [Am]land?[C]
I'm sorry I scared your [Cm]friends
[Adim]I write poetry[G], teach astronom[C]y,
[Am]how [D]about me?"[G]

[Verse 7]
[G]
"In my world everyone is a friend
Shaking hands,
saying [C]how do [G]you [Em]do[C]
Guess you'll [Dsus4]notice we[G] all l[Em]ook the sa[F#]me,
[C#dim]it's so tame[A][F#m]
[Bm]I'd rath[B]er take a chan[E]ce here [C]with you"

[Verse 8]
Let's ride, says [G]Lefty,
[A]let's see how fas[G]t this crate can fly
[A]Va [Em]Va- v[G]a-[Bdim] voom, says Lefty, watc[G]h the coyotes sca[Bdim]tter,[C#aug]
[A]and watch the town[G]s go streaking b[Bdim]y[G]
[C]Kingman, Barstow,
[B]San Bernardino jus[Em]t won't do[A]
Go west, you green [G]dog,
[C]Hollywood's the place for you[D]

[Dsus4]so rare[G]
