------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAGPIE - Patrick Wolf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feel free to make any comment/suggestions- as this song is originally for piano, I tried my best to make it sort of interchangeable with the guitar without working too much harder than needed. Tuning: Standard, with Capo on 1st fret PLAY EVERYTHING IN RESPECT TO THE CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET 35x46x Amsus4 x02240 Also, use G barred on the 3rd fret Intro: Strum these chords once (this song sounds even better when fingerpicked) | | | | | | Arpeggiating the first four notes of the chords will make it sound like the piano: e.g. Play twice under violin scale: e|--------------------------------|------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------|------------------------------------| G|-------2-------2-------2------2-|-------0------0------0------0-----o-| D|-----3-------3-------3------3---|-----3------3------3------3-------o-| A|---3-------3-------3------3-----|---3------3------3------3-----------| E|-1-------1-------1------1-------|-1------1------1------1-------------| Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring? Or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away? (x02200) Magpie, I am lost among the hinterland, caught among the bracken and the fern, Amsus4 and the boys who have no name. There’s No Name For Us But Still We Sing | | Amsus4 | Oooooohh… etc. | | Amsus4 | | And still we sing, Little boy, little boy, Lost and blue, Listen now, let me tell you what to do, You can run on, run along or home Between the knees of her, All among her bracken and her ferns, And the boy will have a name.
