Verse 
D 
I hear the coyotes calling 
G                A 
Their melancholy pierces the night 
D 
I feel those wheat fields waving 
G                         A 
Calling me with their collective spite 
G 
I know tomorrow morning 
D                  G 
Fate will dictate my part 
Em 
But I never believed in fate 
	A 
Because I know the coyote's heart 
D		  G 
You're 200 miles away 
			  D 
On the other side of the state 
				    G 
And I'm going round and round in a wheat field 
	   A 
Trying to beat the rain 
D				   G 
The sun goes down; it won't matter much 
					   Em				 
We'll keep on cutting 'till the straw gets tough 
			 A 
I'll be free when we get through 
				   D 
I'll head back to town and back to you 
Outside the chaff is blowing 
Inside my muscles ache 
Outside the sun is setting 
In it I see your face 
I'll be damned if I leave 
Before the harvest moon assumes a crescent shape 
I'd hit the road with the hammer down 
If only I could these fetters break 
 
I see the storm clouds rolling 
Oklahoma's gift: the rain 
I see the weather, unlike you, 
Never minded the grain 
The squall line across the field moves 
Just like your life crossed mine 
As I roll the tarp I think 
I should have been done in time
