1.Magpie
  D         E
You're an early riser
  A
Magpie
  D       E
You're a bold chastiser
  A
Magpie
  D           E              A
Always waking up my wife and I
          D            E
You old coyote in the sky

You know the west ain't never gonna die
         D               E
Just as long as you can fly

(1st Chorus)
F#m
You roam all around these hills

Like a gypsy
                  A          E
I don't see the matter with that
       F#m
Your choice is meat for something to eat
                  A          E
I don't have a problem with that
     F#m
You build a big house

With a front and a back door
                    A
And you want to be free
             D
Holy Moses magpie
            E
I am you - you are me
 A
Walk that walk

Talk that talk
 D                 E
Sing me a song of way long ago
        A
Was it out on the trail

You got a beautiful tail
  D                         E
Riding on the back of the white buffalo
      A
Say Magpie
D        E                         E
Ah, the west ainât never going to die
          D              E
Just as long as you can fly
                   A
Old coyote in the sky ö is a magpie

(Instrumental) ö D    E    A    D    E

(2nd Chorus)

You hang all around these hills
In the winter time
Why in the world would you want to do that
If it was me I'd be out of here man
Give me a couple of seconds
And I'll grab my hat
Ah, magpie, you're a pretty bird
You just want to be free
Holy Moses magpie
I am you - you are me
Walk that walk
Talk that talk
Sing me a song of way long ago
Was it out on the trail
You got a beautiful tail
Did you cut a deal with the white buffalo?
Say Magpie
You know the west ainât never gonna die
Just as long as you can fly
