Robert Earl Keen - The raven and the coyote

^AmI've been riding ^Fall day long ^AmThrough the wall of ^Frain ^AmIn the shadow of the ^Fmountains ^AmOn the barren ^Fplain ^CTo my angel ^Gin the village ^DmWhere a lamplight ^Fglows ^CIf the dogs there ^Gdon't betray me ^FNo one will ^Amknow ^{F Am F}

^AmIn the city of the ^Fsoldier, ^Amin the time of ^Fwar ^AmThere I met my ^FAngelina, ^AmI was 2^F4 ^CWe made arrangements ^Gsoon thereafter ^DmWedding plans were ^Fdrawn ^CJust beyond the ^Gsound of laughter ^FCannons thundered ^Amon ^{F Am F}

^AmWhen I enlisted in the ^FArmy, ^AmAngelina ^Fcried ^AmI whispered to her, "^FDon't you worry ^AmGod is on our ^Fside." ^COn the battle^Ggrounds before me ^DmHis plan was soon re^Fvealed ^CHe guided me to ^Gfame and glory ^FOn the battle^Amfield ^F
