[Verse 1]
A        D           E
Magpie     You're an early riser
A        D          E
Magpie     You're a bold chastiser
A          D             E              A
Magpie     Always waking up my wife and I
           D          E
You old coyote in the sky
A                D          E
Magpie (some say)  you're a bold deceiver
A        D          E
I say      you're a true believer
A        D         E                      A
Magpie     ah, the west ain't never gonna die
        D               E
Just as long as you can fly
 
 
[Chorus]
    F#m
You roam all around these hills like a gypsy
F#m                                A
I don't see what's the matter with that
     F#m
Your choice is meat for something to eat
F#m                         A
I don't have a problem with that
    F#m
You build a big house with a front and a back door
F#m                   A
   And you want to be free
A           D                 E
Holy Moses, magpie, I am you, you are me!
 
 
[Verse 2]
A                               D                 E
Walk that walk, talk that talk, sing me a song of way long ago
       A                                            D                         E
Was it out on the trail you got that beautiful tail ridin' on the back of the white buffalo?
    A        D         E                      A
Say magpie     Oh, the west ain't never gonna die
        D               E
Just as long as you can fly (you old coyote in the sky)

[Chorus]
    F#m
You hang all around these hills in the winter time
F#m                                  A
Why in the hell would you want to do that
   F#m
If it was me I'd be out of here, man
F#m                                          A
Give me a couple of seconds and I'll grab my hat
F#m
Oh magpie, you're a pretty bird
F#m                 A
You just want to be free
A           D                 E
Holy Moses, magpie, I am you, you are me!
 
 
[Verse 3]
A                               D                 E
Walk that walk, talk that talk, sing me a song of way long ago
       A                                             D                           E
Was it out on the trail you got your beautiful tail, did you cut a deal with the white buffalo?
    A        D              E                      A
Say magpie     You know the west ain't never gonna die
        D               E
Just as long as you can fly
 
 
[Outro]
| A   | D E |

A                                 D     E
    Oh, the west ain't never gonna die
A                                      D     E
    You know the west ain't never gonna die
